The Unified Modeling Language Reference Manual, Second Edition Advanced Praise for The Unified Modeling Language Reference Manual, Second Edition “If you are a serious user of UML, there is no other book quite like this one. I have been involved with the UML specification process for some time, but I still found myself learning things while reading through this book—especially on the changes and new capabilities that have come with UML 2.0. The intimate involvement of the author in the creation and continuing evolution of UML, and the encyclopedic scope of his book, make the work a unique contribution to the UML 2.0 literature, as the first edition was for UML 1.0.” —Ed Seidewitz, Chief Architect, InteliData Technologies Corporation “In addition to the documents of the OMG UML 2.0 Standard, this book is proba- bly the most important source for the Unified Modeling Language. It is a detailed reference, covering the mainstream ideas as well as the delicate niches of the lan- guage. The Dictionary of Terms offers precise, comprehensive and, perhaps most important, systematic information on all aspects of the UML2.0.” —Martin Gogolla, Professor for Computer Science, University of Bremen “Comprehensive and instructive, written by a person with the insights of not only the technical matters, but also the processes that led to the UML language and its version 2.0. This book should be a companion for every serious UML modeler.” —Øystein Haugen, Ericsson Representative in the OMG UML 2.0 Standardization, Associate Professor, University of Oslo “This book provides an authoritative and user-oriented account of UML 2.0.” —Dr. Robert France, Department of Computer Science, Colorado State University. “This is so far the most comprehensive book on UML 2.0. It gives you what the specification does not: real introductions to the various parts of UML, annotated examples, discussions on how to use the new features, and an insight into how and why the new features entered UML 2.0. As one of the persons who was involved in the making of UML 2.0, I can tell that the book is faithful to the specification and to the ideas behind the new features. Read this book instead or as a complement to the specification.” —Birger Møller-Pedersen, Professor, University of Oslo The Unified Modeling Language MU Reference Manual L Second Edition The Unified Modeling Language MU Reference Manual L Second Edition James Rumbaugh Ivar Jacobson Grady Booch Boston • San Francisco • New York • Toronto • Montreal London • Munich • Paris • Madrid Capetown • Sydney • Tokyo • Singapore • Mexico City Many of the designations used by manufacturers and sellers to distinguish their products are claimed as trademarks.

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> .

  • Using the UML for Architectural Description?
    Using the UML for Architectural Description? Rich Hilliard Integrated Systems and Internet Solutions, Inc. Concord, MA USA [email protected] Abstract. There is much interest in using the Unified Modeling Lan- guage (UML) for architectural description { those techniques by which architects sketch, capture, model, document and analyze architectural knowledge and decisions about software-intensive systems. IEEE P1471, the Recommended Practice for Architectural Description, represents an emerging consensus for specifying the content of an architectural descrip- tion for a software-intensive system. Like the UML, IEEE P1471 does not prescribe a particular architectural method or life cycle, but may be used within a variety of such processes. In this paper, I provide an overview of IEEE P1471, describe its conceptual framework, and investigate the issues of applying the UML to meet the requirements of IEEE P1471. Keywords: IEEE P1471, architectural description, multiple views, view- points, Unified Modeling Language 1 Introduction The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is rapidly maturing into the de facto standard for modeling of software-intensive systems. Standardized by the Object Management Group (OMG) in November 1997, it is being adopted by many organizations, and being supported by numerous tool vendors. At present, there is much interest in using the UML for architectural descrip- tion: the techniques by which architects sketch, capture, model, document and analyze architectural knowledge and decisions about software-intensive systems. Such techniques enable architects to record what they are doing, modify or ma- nipulate candidate architectures, reuse portions of existing architectures, and communicate architectural information to others. These descriptions may the be used to analyze and reason about the architecture { possibly with automated support.

  • UML Tutorial: Part 1 -- Class Diagrams
    UML Tutorial: Part 1 -- Class Diagrams. Robert C. Martin My next several columns will be a running tutorial of UML. The 1.0 version of UML was released on the 13th of January, 1997. The 1.1 release should be out before the end of the year. This col- umn will track the progress of UML and present the issues that the three amigos (Grady Booch, Jim Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson) are dealing with. Introduction UML stands for Unified Modeling Language. It represents a unification of the concepts and nota- tions presented by the three amigos in their respective books1. The goal is for UML to become a common language for creating models of object oriented computer software. In its current form UML is comprised of two major components: a Meta-model and a notation. In the future, some form of method or process may also be added to; or associated with, UML. The Meta-model UML is unique in that it has a standard data representation. This representation is called the meta- model. The meta-model is a description of UML in UML. It describes the objects, attributes, and relationships necessary to represent the concepts of UML within a software application. This provides CASE manufacturers with a standard and unambiguous way to represent UML models. Hopefully it will allow for easy transport of UML models between tools. It may also make it easier to write ancillary tools for browsing, summarizing, and modifying UML models. A deeper discussion of the metamodel is beyond the scope of this column. Interested readers can learn more about it by downloading the UML documents from the rational web site2.

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.

Anderson APECS: Polychrony based End-to-End Embedded System Design and Code Synthesis Matthew E. Anderson (ABSTRACT) The development of high integrity embedded systems remains an arduous and error-prone task, despite the efforts by researchers in inventing tools and techniques for design automa- tion. Much of the problem arises from the fact that the semantics of the modeling languages for the various tools, are often distinct, and the semantics gaps are often filled manually through the engineer's understanding of one model or an abstraction. This provides an op- portunity for bugs to creep in, other than standardising software engineering errors germane to such complex system engineering. Since embedded systems applications such as avionics, automotive, or industrial automation are safety critical, it is very important to invent tools, and methodologies for safe and reliable system design. Much of the tools, and techniques deal with either the design of embedded platforms (hardware, networking, firmware etc), and software stack separately. The problem of the semantic gap between these two, as well as between models of computation used to capture semantics must be solved in order to design safer embedded systems.
