Object-Oriented Problem Analysis (Domain Modeling)

Goal: To practice concepts related to Domain Modeling

Problem Statement: Consider again a university library system which maintains records on its collection of books (both on-the-shelf and checked-out), and on library users.

Task:

• Identify a set of conceptual classes for the university library system relevant to the use cases your group posted for D3.
• Identify all associations between conceptual classes.
• Identify all relevant attributes.
• Sketch a class diagram.

Discuss this with the other members of your discussion group.

Part A (5 points)

In the private group called "D4", make your initial posting of the class diagram to the group (5 points).

This must be more than "Me, too!" or "Sounds good!"

Be sure to clearly state the reasons or rationale behind your suggestions
If you have access to facts or other opinions that support your opinion, cite those references.

In the private group "D4", comment on the first posting of some other student in your group (worth 2 points).

In the private group "D4", prepare as a group a final posting that lists all of the concepts, their attributes, and all associations between concepts that your group have agreed upon.

You are not required to create a final diagram, but you can choose to do one.

Make a final group posting to the public "Final group posting: Discussion Assignment 4". Indicate your group number in the thread title. (3 points)

If you include quotation or thoughts from other sources, be sure to cite them appropriately (author, title, publisher, page, etc.).
