The purpose of this paper is to analyze the problems that exist in CV TVB and design systems design services on credit sales for this company. The methodology used is the method of analysis and design methods. The method of analysis is the observation techniques, interviews, and book study, while the method is to use the object oriented design. Results to be achieved is in addition to this study is useful for companies in improving the effectiveness and efficiency in the sales cycle design services but also useful as a material for researchers refrensi others who want to investigate this and similar problems.Concluding, the sales system of computerized design services from order acceptance process to printing the reports can solve problems that occur in old systems and procedures.

Computer simulation has been successfully implemented in the area of construction management. However, this success has generally been limited to the academic arena with the industry lagging far behind. This failure is partly due to the inherent complexity of general simulators and their inability to abstract the underlying modeling fundamentals. Special purpose simulation (SPS) is a framework developed to address the stated drawbacks by focusing on the needs of the construction practitioner. The idea is to build modeling environments tailored to the specific requirements of a given industry domain. This paper presents the development and implementation of a construction dewatering analysis framework based on the ideas of SPS. Object-oriented design and graphical user interfaces are used in the development of an abstraction layer between a steady state hydrological model and the user. The integration capability of the framework are then presented by constructing an optimization module and linking it to the main modeling environment. A case study is provided to demonstrate the usefulness, intuitiveness, and validity of the framework.Key words: simulation, special purpose simulation, construction dewatering, optimization, computer applications.

Design patterns have become an important part of modern object-oriented design. It is necessary to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of different methods of pedagogical documentation in teaching design patterns. We compared patterns-style documentation with minimalist documentation. Patterns style disagrees with minimalism in that contextual information is not minimal — it usually contains information other than what needs to be done. The discoveries in this empirical study were two fold. First, the MANOVA (multivariate analyses of variance) shows that the effect of patterns-style documentation and minimalism are different. Second, we proposed a prediction model using a regression modeling technique. Considering these results, we formulate some guidelines for effective framework documentation by applying five of the design patterns within the Swing environment as our case study. Different documentation philosophies are better for different goals. For a simple task, use minimalist documentation. For a much more complex problem such involving five of the design patterns, our empirical results suggest using patterns-style documentation.

Abstract It is possible to classify the Object-Oriented design methods in two sets. The first set, which is the most numerous, uses an entity relationship approach to build a static class schema. Then this schema is completed by the use of different models (dynamic, functional). The second set tries to obtain a class schema but they don’t provide a guide to build it. So if different designers work on the same application, it is impossible to obtain the same schema. So, in this paper we want to prove that we have defined a new design process (generalization process) which is based upon a set of rules to guide the users and the designers to build a representation of their application. The originality of our process lays upon works developped in machine learning and artificial intelligence. We try to translate the expertize of users or designers given through examples into a class schema. Therefore we have defined a new algorithm of clustering to organize examples into a hierarchy of classes. This process is included in a project called C.O.D. (Class and Object Definition). The project is composed of different processes which take into account the expertize level of the designers and their knowledge about the application domain: specialization process, which is based upon generic application and fuzzy object classes; composition process, which uses a functional application definition with an algorithm to build classes and links between classes; generalization process, which is developed in this paper.
