Business Engineering Using UML: The Object Advantage at Age FourIvar Jacobson, Rational Software Corporation; and |
Waterfront Centre Hotel MacKenzie Room 2 |
Information technology people employ the modeling constructs of the Unified Modeling Language to model the software. What is less widely understood is that business people can employ UML to model new or revised business processes, incorporating their key values and strategies. Drawing on this model then, the information technology people can better focus the requirements for the software systems that will support the business concept. Moreover, since both sets of models employ the standardized models of the UML, the business attains results quickly and reliably. In addition to introducing the fundamentals of bridging business engineering to software development, the presenters will share the experience they have amassed since Jacobson's book, "The Object Advantage" was published in 1994. They will present three case studies. Attendees will learn to model business processes in UML.
Attendee background: This tutorial is targeted at software developers interested in finding the real requirements on their systems as well as business developers needing to describe a process-oriented business.
Ivar Jacobson is inventor of the Objectory Process, and founder of Objectory AB, Sweden. He is currently VP of Business Engineering at Rational Software Corporation. He is a leader in the OO community, well known for his pioneering work and more than 30 years experience using object methods for the design of large real-time systems. He is the principal author of three influential books, "Object-Oriented Software Engineering - a Use Case Driven Approach", "The Object Advantage: Business Process Reengineering Using Object Technology," and "Software Reuse: Architecture, Process and Organization for Business Success," as well as several widely referenced papers on object technology. His work on use-case engineering has influenced almost all of the OO methods in use today.
Sten Jacobson has more than 15 years of experience in the development of HW and SW for large telecommunication systems, and has been working with object technology since 1988. He is a frequent speaker at OO conferences and exhibitions throughout Europe and North America and also gives management seminars in the field of object-oriented business and software engineering. He has co-authored a series of columns, with Dr. Ivar Jacobson, on topics related to reuse and object-oriented business and software engineering processes.
Gunnar Magnusson has been working in the software tools industry since 1978 and joined Rational in 1991 (then Objectory AB) to manage the development of the Objectory software engineering products. Since 1994 he has divided his time between the development of Rational's business engineering products, based on "The Object Advantage," and the mentoring of several organizations applying these techniques and giving tutorials and seminars. He is also a co-author of the planned 2nd edition of "The Object Advantage."
