and the basic notation involved in creating and deciphering
them.

Patterns:Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
by Erich Gamma et al (available on cd)
This
book is based on the idea that there are only so many design
problems in computer programming. The author identifies some
common program-design problems--such as adapting the
interface of one object to that of another object or
notifying an object of a change in another object's
state--and explains the best ways (not always the obvious
ways) to solve them.

Doing
Hard Time: Developing Real-Time Systems with UML, Objects,
Frameworks and Patterns
by Bruce Powel Douglass
A
guide to using software-engineering techniques to develop
software for embedded systems. Author Bruce Powel Douglass
begins by championing the advantages of objects for embedded
development and then shows off basic UML document types.
Next he addresses the difficulties of writing embedded
systems (which are used in hospitals, aircraft, nuclear
power plants, and other life-or-death environments). He
looks at the restricted resources of embedded hardware and
design issues regarding memory management and event
handling.

Applying
Use Cases: A Practical Guide
by Geri Schneider
Shows
how use cases can benefit all aspects of the software-design
process. Provides a case study for a mail-order business
(with some e-commerce as well) as its central example. The
authors suggest that while use cases are particularly useful
at the beginning of a project cycle--for assessing risks and
setting project timetables, for instance--they are also
useful for testing and deployment of systems (specifically,
for creating documentation and help manuals).
