Analysis patterns

The course is designed to impart knowledge on pattern-based conceptual modeling techniques aimed at enhancing the reusability of object-oriented analysis outcomes. It covers frequently used basic and analytical patterns that address common problems, providing recommendations for developing UML-based conceptual models and their transformation into detailed design.

This course explores:

1. Pattern-Based Conceptual Modeling: Fundamental principles for creating reusable, pattern-driven models that enhance object-oriented analysis.
2. UML Diagrams for Analytical Models: Techniques for creating class diagrams and dynamic diagrams for analytical models, enabling participants to capture complex requirements in UML.
3. Basic and Analytical Patterns: Introduction to common patterns, such as Referring to Objects and Time-Varying Objects, providing strategies for solving general design issues.
4. Problem-Specific Patterns: Patterns for addressing issues like accountability, observations, inventory management, planning, and trading within the model.
5. Transitioning from Conceptual Model to Design: Techniques for applying design and association patterns, focusing on efficient transformation from initial analysis to a structured design phase.

Upon completion, participants will:

• Understand the use of pattern-based techniques in creating conceptual models.
• Develop proficiency in UML for object-oriented analysis and effective problem-solving.
• Apply basic and analytical patterns to common design challenges.
• Acquire skills to transform conceptual models into detailed design structures.
• Learn best practices for reusing object-oriented analysis results to maximize efficiency and maintainability.

This course is structured with approximately 60% theoretical instruction and 40% practical exercises. Through hands-on activities, participants will develop UML diagrams and apply analytical patterns to real-world scenarios, gaining a practical understanding of transforming conceptual models into actionable designs.
