Abstract:
The trend towards the use of object-oriented methods
for software systems development has made it necessary for the
use of object-oriented approaches in object-oriented software
systems development. Class diagrams represent an essential
component in any object-oriented system design. The
development of such class diagrams in a systematic way is very
crucial in an object-oriented development methodology. The
main principles used in obtaining these class diagrams in a
systematic way are described since class diagrams are very
essential in object-oriented development practice.
