Abstract
This paper proposes an integration of task modeling and object-orien ted analysis approaches. We argue that task–based approaches are more appropriate to analyze existing working situations and to elicit user needs. In subsequent stages like design and implementation, an object-oriented approach is warranted since most of the developer’s skills, tech niques, and tools are better matched to object-oriented representations. We show that such amal ga ma tion, when supported by syste ma tic trans for mation from a goal- and action-oriented perspective to “thinking in objects”, can have several advan tages for both approaches.
