For one- or two-term Sophomore/Junior level courses in Data Structures and Software Design.
This text provides students with a strong introduction to basic data structures, object-oriented analysis and design, and fundamental software design concepts and principles. The authors begin with the traditional basic data structures and algorithms, with their Java implementation and analysis. Then, employing UML notation, a ten step process is given to design a large software system, including a case study designing a simple bank system. In the remainder of the book, intermediate-level data structures and software design techniques are given.
