Applying Object Methods to Systems Development
 
Tuesday April 8,  5:30-8:00PM
The Hartford Insurance Company
 
Murray Cantor,
Principal Consultant, Rational Software, IBM Software Group
 
Are you involved with projects which have any of the following characteristics?
-- Concurrent hardware and software development.
-- Sufficiently large to require more than one development team.
-- Architecturally significant deployment issues
-- Heterogeneous hosting platforms or embedded processors.
-- Complex business rules and relationships.

Rational has had several significant system development engagements over the last four years. This talk will cover some of what has been learned from these engagements. It will include a discussion of the underlying causes for the growing interest in object methods in the systems community, and an overview of a Rational-developed, UML-based system architecture framework. Last year an OMG Domain Special Interest Group for System Engineering was formed on this same topic. The DSIG is expected to release an RFP for a systems engineering UML profile in late March. The talk will discuss these possibilities.
