Hmm, who did the recognizing? I believe Booch made a passing comment
to the effect that JSD might work as a front end to OOD in his
classic "Object Oriented Development" paper, _TSE_, Feb, 1986.
But I'm not sure he still feels that way as there's no such mention
in his 1991 text, _OOD with Applications_. Are you out there, Grady?

In any case, I do know of a paper comparing the two methodologies.

  "JSD and Object Oriented Design" by Birchenough and Cameron

It appears in _JSP & JSD: The Jackson Approach to System Development_,
2nd edition, IEEE Computer Society Press. The book has a 1989 copyright
date, but the paper _feels_ older. Its latest reference is Booch's paper
cited above.
