object-oriented design
OOD
(OOD) A design method in which a system is modelled
as a collection of cooperating objects and individual objects
are treated as instances of a class within a class hierarchy.
Four stages can be identified: identify the classes and objects,
identify their semantics, identify their relationships and
specify class and object interfaces and implementation.
Object-oriented design is one of the stages of object-oriented
programming.
Schlaer-Mellor is one approach to OOD.
