I think there are two different books here, the first by Booch and Bryan,
Software Engineering with Ada (1994 (3rd ed.) and earlier);
the second by Booch: Software Components with Ada (1987).

There is one recurring pattern in the first book, maybe worth
mentioning:

  * Identify the objects
  * Identify the operations
  * Establish the visibility
  * Establish the interface
(* Evaluate the objects )
  * Implement each object

The authors explain these steps in an introductory section
titled "An Object-Oriented Design Method".
