Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of Hierarchical Object Oriented Design (HOOD). HOOD was developed by the European Space Agency as a design method for Ada, looking forward to the use of Ada as a major language for software for embedded space systems. HOOD has been adopted project wide for the European Fighter Aircraft, and is usually considered for any Ada software development projects because of its direct applicability and the availability of a range of HOOD Toolsets. The design strategy is globally top-down and consists of a set of basic design steps, in each of which a given object, called a parent object, is decomposed into a set of components called child objects which together provide the functionality of the parent object. A basic design step has as goals the identification of child objects of a given parent object and of their individual relationships to other existing objects.
