Integration of Communication Analysis and the OO Method: Manual derivation of the Conceptual Model. The SuperStationery Co. lab demo

Abstract

This document presents a lab demo that exemplifies the manual derivation of an OO Method conceptual model, taking as input a Communication Analysis requirements model. In addition, it is described how the conceptual model is created in the OLIVANOVA Modeler tool. The lab demo corresponds to part of the business processes of a fictional small and medium enterprise named SuperStationery Co. This company provides stationery and office material to its clients. The company acts as a as intermediary: the company has a catalogue of products that are bought from suppliers and sold to clients. This lab demo, besides illustrating the derivation technique, demonstrates that the technique is feasible in practice. Also, the results of this lab demo provide a valuable feedback in order to improve the derivation technique.
