I've exhausted all local search paths, and I've tried comp.object, but I've got nowhere. Perhaps somebody in comp.software.eng can help ? I have incomplete references to two papers which I am interested in reading - "Crib Sheet for Object-Oriented Requirements Analysis" - Pete Coad "Software Requirements Definition Using Objects" - Smith and Tockey. The titles may not be exact, but the authors are correct. Can anybody supply me with full references ? Or, indeed, pointers to any other papers dealing with Object-Oriented Requirements Analysis (OORA) ? Thanks, Brian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail : bmathews@tcdcs.uucp | "Sometimes the formulation of the problem S-Mail : c/o Dept. of Comp.

Some of the references he uses are: Ladden, Richard, "A Survey of issues to be considered in the Development of an Object-Oriented Development Methodology for Ada," Ada Letters, March/April 1989 "Entity Life Histroies," learmonth Burchett Management Systems, Houston and London, 1987. Seidewitz, Ed and Stark, Mike, "Towards a General Object-Oriented Software Development Methodology," Ada Letters, Volume 7, Number 4. I did my thesis work in this area too, and found that virtually no one is doing object oriented requirements analysis. If you are just looking for analysis methods to use with OOD, there a lots of papers out there, most of which recommend some existing, functional analysis technique as a front end. You might even want to contact someone like Ed seidewitz directly: e-mail him at eseidewitz%gsfcmail@ames.arpa or call him at (301)286-7631.
