  • Activity Diagram Inheritance1
    Activity Diagram Inheritance1 Arnd Schnieders, Frank Puhlmann Hasso-Plattner-Institute for IT Systems Engineering at the University of Potsdam {schnieders, puhlmann}@hpi.uni-potsdam.de Abstract This paper outlines the ongoing work on the realization of a flexible inheritance mechanism for Activity Diagrams that assures the maintenance of syntactical correctness for the derived Activity Diagrams. The objective is to support the reuse of process models especially by applying Activity Diagram inheritance as a variability mechanism in the context of product line oriented software development. Keywords: Activity Diagrams, domain engineering, process inheritance, variability mechanism 1. Introduction In industry similar products are frequently developed and produced as product lines. One of the main advantages is a gain of efficiency in development and production since parts, which are common for several product line members, can be reused optimally. This approach has been transferred successfully to software development and is also known by the name domain engineering. Variability mechanisms are thereby important for the effectiveness of domain engineering. A great number of variability mechanisms has already been published [5, 9, 11, 13, 18]. Unfortunately, existing variability mechanisms only refer to the static aspects of a software system’s design while the impact of variability mechanisms on the process view on the system has been strongly neglected. Therefore, the first contribution of this paper is to contribute to closing this gap by making the important variability mechanism inheritance available for process design models in order to derive process model variants. The second contribution of this paper is to show how the defined process inheritance mechanism is realized concretely for UML 2.0 Activity Diagrams.

Example: street map Modeling consists of building an abstraction of reality. Abstractions are simplifications because: They ignore irrelevant details and They only represent the relevant details. What is relevant or irrelevant depends on the purpose of the model. Why model software? Systems, Models and Views Why model software? A model is an abstraction describing a subset of a system A view depicts selected aspects of a model Software is getting increasingly more complex A notation is a set of graphical or textual rules for depicting views Windows XP > 40 million lines of code Views and models of a single system may overlap each other A single programmer cannot manage this amount of code in its entirety.

  • Guidelines for UML Or Sysml Modelling Within an Enterprise Architecture
    Guidelines for UML or SysML modelling within an enterprise architecture Mälardalen University Academy of Innovation, Design and Technology Author: Charlie Höglund Email: [email protected] Bachelor of Science in Computer Science/Basic level, 15hp Date: 2017-06-08 Examiner: Jan Carlson Supervisor: Daniel Sundmark Company supervisor: Fredric Andréasson (Volvo Construction Equipment) Abstract Enterprise Architectures (EA) are used to describe an enterprise’s structure in a standardized way. An Enterprise Architecture also provides decision-support when choosing a direction or making changes at different levels of an enterprise, such as the business architecture or technology architecture level. This can involve decisions such as: What kind of enterprise should this be, what kind of technologies should be used for new system developments etcetera. Therefore, using the Unified Modelling Language (UML) or Systems Modelling Language (SysML) together with standardized guidelines that help you decide what to do before, during, and after modelling could be important for producing correct and useful system models, which later on will be used to develop actual systems. At the moment, standardized guidelines of this kind do not really exist. However, there are a lot of information about why you should use UML or SysML, what kinds of UML or SysML diagrams that exist, or what notations to follow when creating a specific UML or SysML diagram. In this thesis, the objective has been to research about the usefulness and creation of standardized guidelines for UML or SysML modelling in an Enterprise Architecture (i.e. mainly intended for the automotive industry domain). For this reason, the two research questions: “how can you create useful standardized guidelines for UML or SysML modelling?” and “what do useful standardized guidelines for UML or SysML modelling look like?” were chosen.

Participants do not have to be explicitly declared. To have a dotted arrow, you use --> It is also possible to use <- and <--. That does not change the drawing, but may improve readability. Note that this is only true for sequence diagrams, rules are different for the other diagrams. @startuml Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request Alice <-- Bob: Another authentication Response @enduml 1.2 Declaring participant If the keyword participant is used to declare a participant, more control on that participant is possible.

  • Sysml Distilled: a Brief Guide to the Systems Modeling Language
    ptg11539604 Praise for SysML Distilled “In keeping with the outstanding tradition of Addison-Wesley’s techni- cal publications, Lenny Delligatti’s SysML Distilled does not disappoint. Lenny has done a masterful job of capturing the spirit of OMG SysML as a practical, standards-based modeling language to help systems engi- neers address growing system complexity. This book is loaded with matter-of-fact insights, starting with basic MBSE concepts to distin- guishing the subtle differences between use cases and scenarios to illu- mination on namespaces and SysML packages, and even speaks to some of the more esoteric SysML semantics such as token flows.” — Jeff Estefan, Principal Engineer, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory “The power of a modeling language, such as SysML, is that it facilitates communication not only within systems engineering but across disci- plines and across the development life cycle. Many languages have the ptg11539604 potential to increase communication, but without an effective guide, they can fall short of that objective. In SysML Distilled, Lenny Delligatti combines just the right amount of technology with a common-sense approach to utilizing SysML toward achieving that communication. Having worked in systems and software engineering across many do- mains for the last 30 years, and having taught computer languages, UML, and SysML to many organizations and within the college setting, I find Lenny’s book an invaluable resource. He presents the concepts clearly and provides useful and pragmatic examples to get you off the ground quickly and enables you to be an effective modeler.” — Thomas W. Fargnoli, Lead Member of the Engineering Staff, Lockheed Martin “This book provides an excellent introduction to SysML.

    SysML Activity Diagram Some Basic Semantics [email protected] 1. Does this diagram follow all SysML rules, is it semantically correct? 2. If it is correct, is it good SysML, is the modeler’s intent clear? 3. What is the modeler’s intent? The semantics discussed are not comprehensive; rather, they are meant to cover only some of the most common usages. Readers are encouraged to consult additional documentation to obtain a fuller understanding of the SysML grammar. Activity Edges Control and Object Flows Control Flow Object Flow The most basic function of Activity Diagrams is the Object flow Pin. Control flow activity edge, commutation of information activity edge, solid line. among Actions. This is dashed line. accomplished by using either or both types of activity edges, as required: Best Practices 1. Use Object Flows whenever possible as they explicitly specify what is being communicated between Actions. 2. The two object flow constructs on the right are semantically identical. In general, the use of pins is preferred as it is more concise and allows for typecasting, should that be required. Activity Edge Semantics 1. An Action cannot start until all Control and Object tokens are received at the Action edge. 2. When an Action finishes, it provides all Control and Object tokens to their respective flows.
