We aim to identify requirements on architectural modeling and how different modeling concepts of UML meet these requirements. This paper is not intended as a critique of the UML but as a discussion of approaches to modeling architectures that have been tried, more or less successfully.Thomas ...
UML - An Overview Before we begin to look at the theory of the UML, we are going to take a very brief run through some of the major concepts of the UML. The first thing to notice about the UML is that there are a lot of different diagrams (models) to get used to. The reason ...
In order to model software based on object-oriented programming (OOP) and aspect-oriented programming (AOP), this paper extended the unified modeling language (UML) by importing aspect, pointcut, advice and some other concepts used in aspect-oriented programming. The authors proposed a way to ...
The UML has an important role in this OO analysis and design; The UML diagrams are used to model the design. So the UML has an important role to play. Purpose of UML A picture is worth a thousand words, this absolutely fits while discussing UML. Object-oriented concepts were introduced ...
Fortunately, any of these forms is reasonably easy to learn and read, and their equivalence for the basic ER concepts is obvious from the diagrams. Without a clear standard for the ER model, however, many other constructs are being used today in addition to the three types shown here. Sign...
can use these standards to model the entire enterprise. TOGAF thus recommends the use of UML and BPMN. However, TOGAF has its own metamodel. An architect who has to use models must first decide how to use UML for TOGAF and how to map UML concepts to TOGAF concepts. The goal ofChapter...
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is widely accepted as the de-facto standard for object-oriented information systems (IS) design and software modeling. Recent research has proposed to extend the use of UML to conceptual modeling of application domains. Conceptual models serve both as the basis...

be eliminated, as they were not useful in practice. UML 2.5 tools will have to support complete UML specification.Information flows,models, andtemplateswill no longer be auxiliary UML constructs. At the same time,use cases,deployments, and theinformation flowsto become UML supplementary concepts!
Though somewhat esoteric, Petri nets are often used to model and analyze business process workflows. They provide a distinctive technique for mapping business processes and borrow from concepts such asMarkov processesand Markov state diagrams that show transitions from one state to another. Unlike flow...
