Trend-spotting with Ivar Jacobson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Jacobson, detailed his track record at prognosticating the future, quoting from a 1980 letter he wrote to the CEO of his then-employer, Swedish telecomm giant Ericsson. It's been a little late in coming — 15 years, to be exact," Jacobson recounted, with obvious pride in his role in evolving a world-standard development approach. Jacobson stressed the importance of overcoming what he sees as a general impedance problem in software, with seams between the machine layer, operating system and database layer, middleware layer, and application layer. archive.devx.com /java/free/articles/Smith02/Smith02-1.asp   (480 words)

Software Dioxide: A Resounding Yes to Agile Processes — But Also to More   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Jacobson points out that this process is a light version of RUP and that the process itself was designed to change and support changes. Jacobson says that the key for agility is continual adjustment of the process based on what is learnt. Jacobson feels that using mentors is particularly effective, but getting good mentors — competent persons with unusual personal skills - is difficult, as such persons may be given other responsibilities and be forced to give up the mentor role due to time pressures. www.softwaredioxide.com /Channels/ConView.asp?id=6689   (1108 words)

JOT: Journal of Object Technology - Use Case Concepts using a Clear, Consistent, Concise Ontology, G. Genilloud, W. F. ... Ivar Jacobson thinks that he has been very clear, from the beginning, that use cases are classes: “In the book I made it very clear that use cases were classes, that could be instantiated and that could interact with actors (users) only” [Fowler98]. In his first book, Ivar Jacobson gives an example in which the base use case is called “Returning item,” while the extending use case is called “Item stuck.” Jacobson, who cares about how to name use cases, has applied two different naming principles to these two use cases. Ivar Jacobson speaks also in terms of specifications when he explains why he has invented the Extend relationship. www.jot.fm /issues/issue_2005_08/article8   (5066 words)

DBMS Interview - October 1996 JACOBSON: We have identified that this is a language and not a method, which is a substantial improvement in our approach. JACOBSON: In my view, there's nothing that won't be in the UML that we already had in the old Objectory; we haven't lost anything. Before Ivar joined us, we had tried to capture his ideas in our model, but it's certainly a lot better to have the author present to tell us what we got right and what we got wrong, so that we can fix it. www.dbmsmag.com /9610d11.html   (3598 words)

Last check: 2007-10-09) Jacobson missed to mention an explicit requirement for a weaving mechanism in early phases of project lifecycle). Younessi explained AOP basics and the mechanism of weaving, much more essential thing in relation to the original Jacobson's article is not, what the authors succeded to explain (correctly, as I can asses), but what they have missed to say.

Dr. Dobb's | Executable Models Are Inevitable | August 23, 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) There is no technical barrier—only a political barrier," said Ivar Jacobson, one of the three founders of the Unified Modeling Language, in his June 11, 2001 keynote address at CMP Media's UML World conference in New York City. The political problem, Jacobson explained, is due to the huge investment that has been made in integrated development environments (IDEs) that are replete with compilers, debuggers, GUI builders and other productivity-enhancing features. Jacobson has harsh words for those who are still fascinated by object-oriented programming at the code level: "This stuff was in Simula 20 years ago. www.ddj.com /dept/architect/184414764   (2062 words)

Harry Pierson's DevHawk Weblog : What Is Up With The Three Amigos? Microsoft has tapped Ivar Jacobson, known as one of the fathers of the popular Rational Unified Process (RUP), to lead an effort to deliver a lightweight unified process to the Microsoft Solutions Framework. Jacobson said the first fruits of his company's relationship with Microsoft will be through the delivery of the Essential Unified Process (Essential UP), which is based on the Microsoft Solutions Framework and integrated with VSTS. Essential UP is an evolution of the unified process Jacobson helped create more than 10 years ago that forms the foundation of RUP, he said. blogs.msdn.com /devhawk/archive/2005/11/14/492591.aspx   (450 words)

Use Cases: the Pros and Cons Although initially introduced by Ivar Jacobson to the object community at the 1987 OOPSLA conference [1], it was the publication of his book Object-Oriented Software Engineering: A Use Case Driven Approach [2] in 1992 that marked the true beginning of use cases´ meteoric rise in popularity. According to Ivar Jacobson, use cases are related by two main associations: extends and uses. As pointed out by Jacobson [5], " … it should be clear that use-case modeling is a technique that is quite independent of object modeling. www.ksc.com /article7.htm   (3388 words)

Authors, A-Z > Jacobson, Ivar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) To me, this book has as its foundation in one of Ivar Jacobson's previous software books: "Object-Oriented Software Engineering" (if you think his current book is hard to read, you should see this one, ugh). Jacobson describes it as the result of a kind of epiphanal realization that AOP could solve an inherent problem in use case design. This is how the book hooked me: rather than just showing AOP as a series of stunts, or explaining it w/the usual little examples (logging, exceptions, etc.), this book starts w/the strategic implications and then works down to the tactical. www.bcibook.com /eBooks/565742_1.html   (2943 words)
