Book Description
The design of this book is based on teaching the ]SP (Jackson Structured Pro gramming) methodology to undergaduates and postgraduates over a period of a number of years. I am grateful for the comments and feedback that have been provided by students who have taken these courses. The aim of the book is to provide readers with an understanding of the concepts behind the ]SP methodology in order that they may apply it for themselves; simply using the notation is not sufficient, it must be used appropriately. The answer to the question "Why is this wrong?" can lead to a greater understanding than a sim ple response to "Is this right?". I have included illegal structures as "under standable mistakes" in the early sections for this reason. It is not necessary for readers of this text to have experience with any par ticular programming language; indeed, one of the virtues of ]SP is that it is lan guage independent. Examples have been given in Pascal, C and COBOL as these are languages which students of ]SP are likely to have met in the course of their studies, or will be meeting while they are learning ]SP. The COBOL lan guage is widely used in industry in a ]SP development environment.

A Practical Handbook for Software Development
Author: N. D. Birrell
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521347921
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
The designer of a software system, like the architect of a building, needs to be aware of the construction techniques available and to choose the ones that are the most appropriate. This book provides the implementer of software systems with a guide to 25 different techniques for the complete development processes, from system definition through design and into production. The techniques are described against a common background of the traditional development path, its activities and deliverable items. In addition the concepts of metrics and indicators are introduced as tools for both technical and managerial monitoring and control of progress and quality. The book is intended to widen the mental toolkit of system developers and their managers, and will also introduce students of computer science to the practical side of software development. With its wide-ranging treatment of the techniques available and the practical guidance it offers, it will prove an important and valuable work.

Design of Multithreaded Software
Author: Bo I. Sanden
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118102738
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
This book assumes familiarity with threads (in a language such as Ada, C#, or Java) and introduces the entity-life modeling (ELM) design approach for certain kinds of multithreaded software. ELM focuses on "reactive systems," which continuously interact with the problem environment. These "reactive systems" include embedded systems, as well as such interactive systems as cruise controllers and automated teller machines. Part I covers two fundamentals: program-language thread support and state diagramming. These are necessary for understanding ELM and are provided primarily for reference. Part II covers ELM from different angles. Part III positions ELM relative to other design approaches.

Software Engineering
Author: Doug Bell
Publisher: Addison Wesley
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 526
Book Description
Software Engineering: A Programming Approach provides a unique introduction to software engineering for all students of computer science and its related disciplines. It is also ideal for practitioners in the software industry who wish to keep track of new developments in the discipline. The third edition is an update of the original text written by Bell, Morrey and Pugh and further develops the programming approach taken by these authors. The new edition however, being updated by a single author, presents a more coherent and fully integrated text. It also includes recent developments in the field and new chapters include those on: formal development, software management, prototyping, process models and user interface design. The programming approach emphasized in this text builds on the readerAs understanding of small-scale programming and extends this knowledge into the realm of large-scale software engineering. This helps the student to understand the current challenges of software engineering as well as developing an understanding of the broad range of techniques and tools that are currently available in the industry. Particular features of the third edition are: - a pragmatic, non-mathematical approach - an overview of the software development process is included - self-test questions in each chapter ensure understanding of the topic - extensive exercises are provided at the end of each chapter - an accompanying website extends and updates material in the book - use of Java throughout as an illustrative programming language - consistent use of UML as a design notation Douglas Bell is a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, England. He hasauthored and co-authored a number of texts including, most recently, Java for Students.
