Object-oriented design

ABSTRACT

The current software depression is characterized by software that is late, erroneous, and costly. Experience indicates that the application of appropriate design methodolgies, embodied in a high-order language, is appropriate in combatting this depression. In particular, this paper describes an object-oriented design methodology, using Ada as the implementation language.
