Hi,

This is the tally of the usage of methodologies:

 Booch  6
 Rumbaugh 5
 Coad  4
 Shlaer  4
 Wirfs-Brock 1


I feel there maybe some who might have missed the original posting.
So, I want to extend this survey by one more week.
This was the original posting

*************************************************************************
I am conducting a survey on the usage of Object-Oriented methodologies. From the literature,
I have identified 20 different methodologies (See below). If you have (or know of anyone) who
has) used any of these methodologies for any application, please provide the following information
by return Email to skalyan@cs.clemson.edu or FAX 803 656 0145.

Methodology used -

Name of the company that used the methodology -

Class of application (e.g. Telecommunications, Accounting, Decision Support) -

To the list of information gathered on this topic, I wish people would
include some reason why they chose the particular method they used. A
legitimate answer would be "my boss told me to" or "after studying all
20 mmethods, I determined that this one would produce the best results in
the shortest time for applications of this nature."

The only thing unusualy about the above list (too me at least) is that
Rumbaugh is second, and not either Shlaer-Mellor or Coad. I've studied
several of the above methods and would probably choose either Coad or
Shlaer-Mellor, but then I haven't looked at Booch yet. I know that
he is probably the most well-known and mature method. Just curious.
