IT Design Philosophies

Paper Summary:

This report distinguishes between two information technology design philosophies; namely, the basic differences between structured design and object-oriented design. The report also addresses the kinds of systems that are naturally more inclined to function with a hierarchy and those which function better through interacting objects. The report also goes on to discuss how systems were designed and when the methods used were most effective.

From the Paper:

"From a programming perspective, OOD is a design methodology where a system is modeled as a collection of cooperating objects or discrete items that could be either chosen or maneuvered like an onscreen graphic. It is not enough to merely identify and create objects, they must be thoroughly researched to note potential implications in an object oriented design which includes the many aspects of system components and their interactions and interrelationships."
