Being a protagonist within the Ada-scene for long Booch is one of the pioneers of object-oriented modelling. After a number of early publications in the 1980s he as presented a design methodology within an extensive textbook (Booch 1990). Although Booch conceptualizes objects similar to Rumbaugh et al. he does not distinguish between three partial models. His methodology is primarily focused on the specification of classes. In order to allow for a detailed description of classes Booch suggests various templates. The methodology not only covers conceptual design ("logical view") but includes also techniques which are clearly associated with implementation issues ("module architecture", "process architecture"). The following description of Booch’s approach is mainly focused on the logical view.
