The long awaited "HOOD book" has been published. You can find information,
including the table of contents and a sample chapter, at
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/adalog/hoodbook.htm
HOOD (Hierarchical Object Oriented Design) is a design method developped
for the needs of the European Space Agency. It has also been succesfully
used in various domains, including transportation and nuclear plants.
Although it supports various programming languages, it was primarily
developped for use with Ada (thus this posting to this list ;-).

Saw the web page. Looks pretty nice. I'm wondering if there is a
(relatively) inexpensive tool to support HOOD design which will
run on a PC with WinNT? It would be especially nice if the book
came bundled with the software since (for some perverse reason) I
can get the company to buy me a software product relatively
easily, but getting them to buy me a book is damned near
impossible. (Example of corporate insanity: They will spend
thousands of dollars sending me to grad school & give me time off
work to do it. Ask them for $50 for a text book which I read on my
own time? Forget it! They hire a whole library staff to tell you
"It's not in the budget!")
Any recommendations/suggestions? I'd really like to have both a
book *and* a design tool that closely matches the book. Thanks.

A company called Select Software or something like that, they do a few
little Windows based designe method tools like Yourdon and OMT, used
to do one for Hood, but I think they abandoned it cos there was no
market. Nobody apart from the European Aerospace industry appeared to
be interested. It might be worth contacting them to see if they've got
an old one lying around.
Unfortunately there only ever were about 5 HOOD tools ever, and most
of them weren't very good!
Funnily enough, there also used to be another book on HOOD, but I
think it's gone out of print through lack of interest as well!
