It emphasizes the importance to consider the complete development path of a functional requirement, i.e. not only the individual development steps but also their proper combination and their alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book consists of two parts: Part I presents the underlying theory while Part II contains various illustrative case studies. Part I starts with an introduction to the topic (Chapter 1). Then it explains how to develop functional requirements that represent the conceptual \u003ci\u003edynamics\u003c\/i\u003e of an information system (Chapters 2 and 3). Chapters 4 and 5 explain how to model the conceptual \u003ci\u003estatics\u003c\/i\u003e of an information system. Chapter 6 gives some directions for implementation. Finally, Chapter 7 explains how a 'technical manager' can organize and manage the development process. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an illustration of the theory, Part II contains three substantial case studies. The first one (Chapter 8) presents a stepwise development starting from an informal situation sketch via a simple domain model towards a precisely specified, full-fledged conceptual data model, which finally is translated to an SQL database. In the second case study (Chapter 9) the author converts the well-known non-trivial use case \u003ci\u003eProcess Sale\u003c\/i\u003e from Larman into a textual System Sequence Description (SSD). For validation purposes, that textual SSD is subsequently translated into natural language and into a graphical SSD. The third case study (Chapter 10) shows the applicability of the author's approach to a \u003ci\u003econtrol system\u003c\/i\u003e and also illustrates the typical situation that the requirements are constantly changing during development. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is written for (under)graduate students in software engineering or information systems who want to learn how to carry out adequate problem analysis, to make good system specifications, and\/or to understand how to organize and manage an IS-development process. It also targets practitioners who want to improve their problem analysis abilities and\/or their ability to make good system specifications. To this end, it includes more than 150 explanatory figures and is accompanied by a Web site which provides additional course material such as slides, additional exercises, solutions to exercises, and the code for the figures used in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBert de Brock\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emeritus of Business Information Modelling at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, a position he held for 15 years.
