    TU2943: Information Engineering Methodology Lab Notes, 2009-2010, Faculty of Technology and Information Science, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia LAB 5: Interaction Diagram - UML Communication Diagram OBJECTIVES To understand the role of dynamic models in requirement analysis by reading and constructing UML Communication Diagram. INTRODUCTION Communication Diagram (a.k.a. Collaboration Diagram) Communication Diagram provides another way to model a scenario. Essentially is a part of Interaction Diagram (just like Sequence Diagram). Each object is represented by an object icon, and links are used to indicate communication paths on which messages are transmitted. Messages presented in the same way as those in sequence diagram. Formerly known as Collaboration Diagram in UML 1.x specification. Communication Diagram represents a combination of information taken from Use Case, Class and Sequence Diagrams describing both the static structure and dynamic behavior of the system. Comparing and Contrasting: Collaboration and Sequence Both diagrams show the same information: Objects/classes Messages Sequence Conditional Repetition Messages to self Sequence Diagram and Communication Diagram are two views of the same scenario. Collaboration diagrams emphasize who-is-talking-to-who. But the time-ordering of the messages who gets obscured. Sequence diagrams emphasize time-ordering. But the who-is-talking-to-who gets obscured. Use the diagram that you are most comfortable with. Structure and Notation of Communication Diagram Objects are named <an object name>:< its class> . Nor Samsiah Binti Sani 1 TU2943: Information Engineering Methodology Lab Notes, 2009-2010, Faculty of Technology and Information Science, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Either <an object name> or <a class name> can be removed.

Chairperson __________________________ Sharleen O‘ Brien, Ph.D. Second Faculty __________________________ Thalia R. Goldstein, Ph.D. External Expert ii Copyright © 2019 Gregory Hippolyte Brown iii Abstract When an actor plays a character in a film, they try to connect with the emotions and behavioral patterns of the scripted character. There is an absence of literature regarding how a role influences an actor’s life before, during, and after film production. This study examined how acting roles might influence an actor during times on set shooting a movie or television series as well as their personal life after the filming is finished. Additionally the study considered the psychological impact of embodying a role, and whether or not an actor ever has the feeling that the performed character has independent agency over the actor.

It is gaining popularity as a language for a variety of purposes. It was designed as a result of a unifying activity in the last decade. Since this general purpose language cannot suit all possible needs, it has built-in mechanisms for providing extensibility for specific purposes. One such mechanism is the notion of stereotype, which is a means of branding the existing model element with a new semantics.

The Unified Modeling Language Use Case Diagrams Class Diagrams Attributes, Operations and ConstraintsConstraints Generalization and Aggregation Sequence and Collaboration Diagrams State and Activity Diagrams 2004 John Mylopoulos UML -- 1 Conceptual Modeling CSC2507 UML Diagrams I UML was conceived as a language for modeling software. Since this includes requirements, UML supports world modeling (...at least to some extend). I UML offers a variety of diagrammatic notations for modeling static and dynamic aspects of an application. I The list of notations includes use case diagrams, class diagrams, interaction diagrams -- describe sequences of events, package diagrams, activity diagrams, state diagrams, …more... 2004 John Mylopoulos UML -- 2 Conceptual Modeling CSC2507 Use Case Diagrams I A use case [Jacobson92] represents “typical use scenaria” for an object being modeled. I Modeling objects in terms of use cases is consistent with Cognitive Science theories which claim that every object has obvious suggestive uses (or affordances) because of its shape or other properties. For example, Glass is for looking through (...or breaking) Cardboard is for writing on... Radio buttons are for pushing or turning… Icons are for clicking… Door handles are for pulling, bars are for pushing… I Use cases offer a notation for building a coarse-grain, first sketch model of an object, or a process. 2004 John Mylopoulos UML -- 3 Conceptual Modeling CSC2507 Use Cases for a Meeting Scheduling System Initiator Participant

  • Object Query Language Reference Version: Itop 1.0
    Object Query Language Reference Version: Itop 1.0 Overview OQL aims at defining a subset of the data in a natural language, while hiding the complexity of the data model and benefit of the power of the object model (encapsulation, inheritance). Its syntax sticks to the syntax of SQL, and its grammar is a subset of SQL. As of now, only SELECT statements have been implemented. Such a statement do return objects of the expected class. The result will be used by programmatic means (to develop an API like ITOp). A famous example: the library Starter SELECT Book Do return any book existing in the Database. No need to specify the expected columns as we would do in a SQL SELECT clause: OQL do return plain objects. Join classes together I would like to list all books written by someone whose name starts with `Camus' SELECT Book JOIN Artist ON Book.written_by = Artist.id WHERE Artist.name LIKE 'Camus%' Note that there is no need to specify wether the JOIN is an INNER JOIN, or LEFT JOIN. This is well-known in the data model. The OQL engine will in turn create a SQL queries based on the relevant option, but we do not want to care about it, do we? © Combodo 2010 1 Now, you may consider that the name of the author of a book is of importance. This is the case if should be displayed anytime you will list a set of books, or if it is an important key to search for. Then you have the option to change the data model, and define the name of the author as an external field.
