SELECT OMT IS LAUNCHED AT SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE

Powerful Object Oriented Design Tool for Rumbaugh's Object Modeling
Technique (OMT)

March 14, 1994 -- San Jose, CA *** SELECT Software Tools, Ltd., pioneers of
cost effective PC based CASE tools, introduced SELECT OMT, a new
multi-user, Microsoft Windows based design tool which provides rigorous
support for Rumbaugh's Object Modeling Technique (OMT). A superset of
SELECT's established graphical design tool, C++ Designer, SELECT OMT now
incorporates the three integrated models, object, dynamic and functional
as outlined in the book Object Oriented Modeling & Design by J. Rumbaugh,
et al. (Prentice Hall). The Object Model, which is central to the method,
shows classes and their attributes together with relationships between
classes. Relationships drawn include inheritance, aggregation and
association. The Dynamic Model comprises state transition diagrams (STDs)
allowing for decomposable states for each class in the object model. The
Functional Model uses a hierarchy of data flow diagrams, integrated with
the Object and Dynamic models. SELECT OMT also offers a powerful
integrated data dictionary and C++ code frame generation including
integration with most popular C++ development environments such as
Microsoft's Visual C++.

SELECT OMT's strengths lie in its ease of use, powerful method support and
integration with other Windows based applications which are used
throughout the life-cycle. For example, diagrams created in SELECT OMT can
be incorporated into Windows-based word processor documents to produce
quality documentation. OLE (Object Linking & Embedding) compliancy will be
introduced in the near future making these links dynamic. 

SELECT plans a new product release later this year designed to support a
shorter, smoother lifecycle with emphasis on providing integrated
protoytyping and full code generation. An upgrade path will be available
from the current SELECT OMT toolkit. A strategy paper on the proposed
enhancements and SELECT's OO development approach are available from the
company (also available at the SD conference, booth #935).

SELECT OMT, available immediately for $695.00 per user can be used in a
single user environment as well as all popular LAN environments including
Netware, PC-NFS, LAN Manager and DEC pathworks. Users of C++ Designer,
SELECT's object oriented graphical design tool, can upgrade to SELECT OMT
through the end of March for only $200.00.

SELECT Software Tools USA, based m Southern California is a subsidiary of
the UK based corporate headquarters founded in 1988 to develop and market
a range of cost effective PC based Application Development Tools for both
real-time and management information systems. In early 1992, SELECT made
the strategic decision to provide support for object oriented techniques.
To date, the company has introduced C++ Designer and now SELECT OMT with a
full portfolio of OO products and services for 1994.
