In the last few years, demand for object-oriented software systems has increased dramatically, and it is widely accepted that present software engineering methodologies are unable to cope with the needs of that demand. The object-oriented paradigm has promised to revolutionise software development; as a result, several methodologies have recently arisen to support software development based on an object-oriented approach. This paper is concerned with object-oriented methodologies for software systems and proposes a classification scheme for existing object-oriented development methodologies. Additionally, the paper presents gaps which could be filled with the development of new object-oriented methodologies.
