Maciaszek's Links
The author of our textbook maintains a page of links to interesting websites on object-oriented analysis and design. Be sure to check it out!
Use Case Examples from Cockburn's book
I have scanned some of the example use cases from Cockburn's book covered in class.
Argo UML
Argo UML is an open source design environment that supports the creation of object-oriented designs using the latest UML specifications. As an interesting aside, one of the founders of the project, Jason Robbin, used to be my roommate back in graduate school. Jason is a smart, hard-working, guy who has accomplished alot using the open source style of software development.

Cockburn's Use Case Website
Cockburn maintains his own website on use cases: <http://www.usecases.org/>. This website provides templates for Cockburn's use cases in a variety of formats.

DIA
No DIA does not refer to our local international airport (besides its DEN not DIA !), but instead to a Unix tool called dia that can help you draw UML diagrams.

Interaction Architect
Here's an article from the Interaction Architect website that discusses 13 common objections to performing requirements analysis, and why you should not believe them! The page seems focused on website design, but the objections are generic enough to be useful outside that domain.

HP Use Case Template
Here is a PDF document describing a use case template developed by the Hewlett-Packard Software Initiative.

Patterns
Three links related to patterns.
Links provided by Usha Sunkad.
The Portland Pattern Repository
The Portland Pattern Repository is a resource on design patterns, a topic we will be covering later in the semester.
