G.Chiozzi - Recommended Readings
(Information Technology)
This document presents a selection of Information
Technology books and papers that I consider very good (or very useful) and
that I would suggest for reading to anyone interested.
The titles are catalogued by argument.
Magazines and periodicals:
I try to read regularly many magazines and periodicals, or
at least I try to have a look at all of them and to read a selection of
papers per every issue.
For the most interesting ones, I make copies and I archive them in binders for retrieval.

Amigos" are the basic references and starting reading for UML and the

Papers:
The Quality Approach: is it delivering?
Communications of the ACM, Jun '97
An interesting special report on software quality and on
the application of the Capability Maturity Model. It includes also a paper
describing a study on how software development is carried out at Microsoft,
using a mixed approach implementing techniques imported from the
"hacker" mindset, but that seems to work in order to have a faster
and more dynamic development cycle.
Writing Effective Use Cases and Introducing
Collaboration Cases
L.Mattingly H.Rao
JOOP, Oct '98
A very good introduction to Use Cases with some
interesting extension. We have used this paper as the base for our work.
Structuring Use
Cases with Goals
A.Cockburn JOOP, Sep-Oct '97 and Nov-Dec '97
A real milestone on Use Cases.
The www.objectmentor.com page contains a
lot of really very good papers on OO analysis and design from R.C.Martin. For
example:
Design Patterns and Design Principle
UML Tutorial:
Class Diagrams
Collaboration
Diagrams
Sequence Diagrams
Finite State Machines
Button, whose got the button?
They are really worth reading!

The Java Factor Communicatons of the ACM, June 1998
This issue of Communications of
the ACM contains a special section dedicated to the Java programming
language. In particular there are couple of general papers pointing out the
good and bad of Java and a couple of interesting papers on the usage of Java
in specific application fields. The following are the most interesting:
·
The Java Factor
S.Singhal, B.Nguyen
·
Why are we using Java again?
P.Tyma
·
Adding Real-Time capabilities to Java
K.Nilsen
A proposal for a real-time extension of the Java language. Tha author claims
that minor additions to the standard Java libraries and small extensions to
the language itself make it possible the implementation of real-time
applications.

the platform they are running on, the language they are written in and where
they are executing". The following are the most interesting papers:
·
The CORBA Connection
K.Seetharaman
·
CORBA and the OMA in Enterprise
Computing
J.Siegel
·
New Features for CORBA 3.0
