Object-orientation as structural, functional and behavioural modelling: a comparison of six methods for object-oriented analysis

The paper suggests a two-dimensional framework for understanding object-oriented modelling: depending on whether the viewpoint is that of an individual object or of an object community and on whether it is structure, function or behaviour that is addressed. After introducing the framework, it compares six methods for object-oriented analysis, showing considerable differences between them in functional and behavioural modelling. It also indicates that most of the methods are weak in modelling functionality at the level of object communities. It is argued that this is a considerable weakness in object-oriented analysis.
