The presentation will outline the steps involved in the process and show how the outputs can be represented in technology-independent UML. John Daniels is a consultant at Syntropy, Ltd., providing help with system architectures and development processes to a number of large corporations. He was an object technology pioneer, and has applied object and component technology in a range of industrial and commercial applications since 1985. Together with Steve Cook he developed the Syntropy method, which led directly to the definition of the UML's Object Constraint Language and which has been highly influential in other recent work. John is a past Chair of the BCS OOPS OT conference, and has presented at many other international conferences.
