SOFTWARE ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES APPLIED TO AGRI...

Software Engineering Techniques Applied to Agricultural Systems presents cutting-edge software
engineering techniques for designing and implementing better agricultural software systems
based on the object-oriented paradigm and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The focus is on
the presentation of rigorous step-by-step approaches for modeling flexible agricultural and
environmental systems  starting with a conceptual diagram representing elements of the system
and their relationships. Furthermore  diagrams such as sequential and collaboration diagrams
are used to explain the dynamic and static aspects of the software system.This second edition
includes: a new chapter on Object Constraint Language (OCL)  a new section dedicated to the
Model-VIEW-Controller (MVC) design pattern  new chapters presenting details of two MDA-based
tools - the Virtual Enterprise and Olivia Nova and a new chapter with exercises on conceptual
modeling. It may be highly useful to undergraduate and graduate students as the first edition
has proven to be a useful supplementary textbook for courses in mathematical programming in
agriculture  ecology  information technology  agricultural operations research methods 
agronomy and soil science and applied mathematical modeling. The book has broad appeal for
anyone involved in software development projects in agriculture and to researchers in general
who are interested in modeling complex systems.From the reviews of the first edition:The book
will be useful for those interested in gaining a quick understanding of current software
development techniques and how they are applied in practice... this is a good introductory text
on the application of OOAD  UML and design patters to the creation of agricultural systems. It
is technically sound and well written.-Computing Reviews  September 2006
