Rational Day at Software Development '96 in San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden The selection of Rational experts to lead a full day of technology sessions at Software Development '96 is natural, considering the alliance of so many industry pioneers in one organization. In the opinion of Steve McClure Steve McClure (born 1970) is a top British rock climber with two ascents graded F9a and one possibly graded 9a+. In 2002 McClure became the first British person ever to onsight more than 100 routes graded F8a or harder within 12 months. , director of object technology at International Data Corporation (IDC), "Rational is in a unique position. They've brought together leading minds in object-oriented engineering -- Grady Booch (the Booch Method), Jim Rumbaugh (OMT (Object Modeling Technique) An object-oriented analysis and design method developed by James Rumbaugh. See Rational Rose. OMT - Object Modelling Technique ), and Ivar Jacobson (OOSE (Object-Oriented Software Engineering) An object-oriented analysis and design method developed by Ivar Jacobsen. OOSE is known for its high-level design capabilities. See Rational Rose. ) -- to develop a single methodology that leverages the individual strengths of all three. The results could have a significant impact on software development and the use of object technology." Rational Day begins at 10:00 a.m. on March 27 with a keynote session entitled "Enterprise Object Strategies with Booch and Jacobson" that offers insights on the recent merger of Rational and Objectory, the firm founded by Ivar Jacobson. Grady Booch has been Rational's chief scientist since joining the company shortly after its founding in 1980, while Jim Rumbaugh and Ivar Jacobson, who developed their methods elsewhere, joined the company in the past couple of years. Booch and Jacobson will discuss how to get the greatest benefits when applying their strategies to enterprise systems at every level, from process engineering to technical implementation. The second session provides an "Introduction to the Unified Method" at 11:00 a.m. Rumbaugh will explore how the combined strengths of the OMT, Booch, and OOSE methods will support the entire software-development lifecycle, in both the short and the long term. A discussion on "Java and Object-Oriented Modeling" by Dave Tropeano, senior technical consultant at Rational Software Corporation, will be held at 12:00 p.m. In this session, attendees will see how the industry-leading Booch, OMT, and upcoming unified method support distributed systems development with Java. At 1:00 p.m., Rational's director of object technology, Jon Hopkins, leads "Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) is a software engineering approach that models a system as a group of interacting objects. Each object represents some entity of interest in the system being modeled, and is characterised by its class, its state (data elements), and its : Starting from a Pattern." The presentation will trace an example through analysis and design using two common patterns and equivalent diagrams in the Booch and OMT methods. This session is designed to help developers understand the results of object-oriented analysis and design and how to extend existing patterns to meet design requirements. Tom Schultz, software-development manager at Rational, follows at 2:00 p.m. with "Iterative and Incremental Client/Server Development," which focuses on a comparison of rapid iterative and incremental development Iterative and Incremental development is a cyclical software development process developed in response to the weaknesses of the waterfall model. It is an essential part of the Rational Unified Process, the Dynamic Systems Development Method, Extreme Programming and generally the strategies with other common approaches, such as waterfall and RAD. The session will also cover the unique needs of client/server development. The day ends at 3:30 p.m. with Jacobson's discussion of "Use-Case Engineering" (UCE (Unsolicited Commercial E-mail) See spam. ). The pioneer of UCE will provide attendees with a wide range of knowledge ranging from the three cornerstones of UCE to techniques for capturing and describing use cases, interface and large-system design, and large-scale systematic reuse.
