What kind of object analysis is used to compare trading activities?

Presents a comparison of six object-oriented analysis and design methodologies. For each of the methodologies, a formal representation of it is constructed as a metaprocess model and a meta-data model. These two metamodels of a methodology represent the steps of the analysis and design, the concepts and the techniques provided by this methodology. Based on this uniform representation, an extensive comparison of these six methodologies is then performed. The results are given as a set of tables in which the similarity and differences of these methodologies are exhibited. Adopting this formal approach, one can avoid errors caused by misunderstanding or misinterpretation of these methodologies. Consequently, an accurate and unbiased comparison is made possible
