About Analysis Patterns:
Reusable Object Models
This innovative book recognizes the need within the object-oriented community for a book that goes beyond the tools and techniques of the
typical methodology book. In Analysis Patterns: Reusable Object Models, Martin Fowler focuses on the end result of object-oriented
analysis and design - the models themselves. He shares with you his wealth of object modeling experience and his keen eye for identifying
repeating problems and transforming them into reusable models. Analysis Patterns provides a catalogue of patterns that have emerged in a
wide range of domains including trading, measurement, accounting and organizational relationships.
Recognizing that conceptual patterns cannot exist in isolation, the author also presents a series of "support patterns" that discuss how to turn
conceptual models into software that in turn fits into an architecture for a large information system. Included in each pattern is the reasoning
behind their design, rules for when they should and should not be used, and tips for implementation. The examples presented in this book
comprise a cookbook of useful models and insight into the skill of reuse that will improve analysis, modeling and implementation.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Martin Fowler is a pioneer in applying object technology to business information systems. For the past 10 years he has consulted in the area
of object technology with companies such as Citibank, Chrysler Corporation, Xerox, AT&T, and the UK National Health Service.
Quotes of Note
"Analysis Patterns is an important contribution to the growing patterns literature. It captures profound object modeling expertise from
different domains as a catalog of patterns. These domain patterns will help you solve challenging modeling problems across different
domains."
-- Erich Gamma, Head of Object Technology, IFA Consulting
"Martin Fowler (Analysis Patterns) gives us the answers, not just a process to get to them. Right here, in plain English, you will find
substantial portions of your next business object model."
-- Ward Cunningham, Cunningham and Cunningham, Inc.
"In his long awaited book (Analysis Patterns), Martin Fowler has done for application domain patterns what the Gang of Four [Gamma et
al.] have done for general purpose design patterns in their book Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. This
book is a must have for all analysts and designers doing object-oriented business modeling and business process re-engineering."
-- Donald G. Firesmith, Knowledge Systems Corporation
