  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

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

Knapp UML 2.0 – Tutorial (v4) 2 1 - Introduction History and Predecessors • The UML is the “lingua franca” of software engineering. • It subsumes, integrates and consolidates most predecessors. • Through the network effect, UML has a much broader spread and much better support (tools, books, trainings etc.) than other notations. • The transition from UML 1.x to UML 2.0 has – resolved a great number of issues; – introduced many new concepts and notations (often feebly defined); – overhauled and improved the internal structure completely. • While UML 2.0 still has many problems, current version (“the standard”) it is much better than what we ever had formal/05-07-04 of August ‘05 before.

  • PML, an Object Oriented Process Modelling Language
    PML, an Object Oriented Process Modeling Language Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reiner Anderl 1, and Dipl.-Ing. Jochen Raßler 2 1 Prof. Dr.-Ing. Reiner Anderl, Germany, [email protected] 2 Dipl.-Ing. Jochen Raßler, Germany, [email protected] Abstract: Processes are very important for the success within many business fields. They define the proper application of methods, technologies, tools and company structures in order to reach business goals. Important processes to be defined are manufacturing processes or product development processes for example to guarantee the company’s success. Over the last decades many process modeling languages have been developed to cover the needs of process modeling. Those modeling languages have several limitations, mainly they are still procedural and didn’t follow the paradigm change to object oriented modeling and thus often lead to process models, which are difficult to maintain. In previous papers we have introduced PML, Process Modeling Language, and shown it’s usage in process modeling. PML is derived from UML and hence fully object oriented and uses modern modeling techniques. It is based on process class diagrams that describe methods and resources for process modeling. In this paper the modeling language is described in more detail and new language elements will be introduced to develop the language to a generic usable process modeling language. Keywords: process modeling language, PML, UML 1. Introduction As the tendency of enterprises to collaborate growths steadily, industry faces new challenges managing business processes, product development processes, manufacturing processes and much more. Furthermore, discipline spanning product development processes are increasing, e.

The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
