  • 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.

  • UML Modelleme Araçlarının Pratik Kullanım Için Analizi
    UML Modelleme Araçlarının Pratik Kullanım için Analizi Mert Ozkaya1 and Ferhat Erata2 1 Yeditepe Üniversitesi , Ataşehir, İstanbul [email protected] 2 UNIT Bilgi Teknolojileri R&D Ltd., Bornova, Izmir [email protected] Özet. Günümüzde, Unified Modeling Language(UML) pratisyenler tarafından en sık tercih edilen yazılım sistemi modelleme ve tasarlama notasyonu olarak kabul edilmektedir. UML, aynı zamanda, birçok yazılım modelleme aracı tarafın- dan desteklenmektedir, ve bu araçlar sayesinde, pratisyenler yazılım sistem- lerini kolayca UML notasyonunu kullanarak modelleyebilir ve analiz, yazılım kodu üretme, ve işbirliği gibi birçok faydalı değişik işlemler gerçekleştirebilirler. Bu çalışmada, tanınan 11 farklı UML modelleme aracını pratisyenlerin UML’i benimsemeleri açısından önemli olduğunu düşündüğümüz bir grup gereksinim bakımından analiz ettik. Bu gereksinimler başlıca, modellerin tasarımı, model analizi, modelden kod üretme, iş-birliği halinde modelleme, ve genişletilebilir- lik olmaktadır. Model tasarımı gereksinimi, modelleme araçlarının UML diya- gramlarına olan destekleri, yazılım modelleme bakış-açılarına olan destekleri, ve büyük ve karmaşık yazılım modellerinin tasarımına olan destekleri açıların- dan ele alınmaktadır. Model analizi gereksinimi, simülasyon ve doğrulama (hem önceden tanımlanmış doğrulama hem de kullanıcı tanımlı doğrulama) gereksin- imlerine olan destek bakımından incelenmektedir.

  • Plugin for Visual Paradigm for Generating and Intelligent Optimization of a Component Diagram Based on Attributes in the Class Diagram
    Journal of Software Plugin for Visual Paradigm for Generating and Intelligent Optimization of a Component Diagram Based on Attributes in the Class Diagram Carsten Mueller1, Anton Pohl2* 1 University of Economics, Informatics Department, Prague, Czech Republic 2 Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University, Mosbach, Germany * Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Manuscript submitted January December 30, 2014; accepted February 16, 2015. doi: 10.17706/jsw.10.3. 355 -365 Abstract: In today’s software development process (SDP) it is necessary to do much preparatory work to achieve a good quality of the software. Besides the requirements engineering the design process is very important. The designer can describe all aspects of the software to be built. Excellent designing skills and the question “What makes a ‘good’ software?” are essential to create a competent “cookbook”. The plugin presented in this paper shall support designer using Visual Paradigm (VP) as a modeling-tool during their modeling process. Based on given attributes in the Class Diagram the plugin can generate and optimize intelligently a Component Diagram. Key words: Software modeling, plugin for visual paradigm, software design, software component. 1. Introduction We live in an information age where data processing becomes more important and difficult. To manage the growing amount of information the complexity of today’s software systems increases steadily. Every human that takes pictures with a camera, every sensor that for example gauges the physical condition of an electronic part, and the communication over the internet produces data. The EMC Digital Universe study estimates the amount of data growing by 40% per year [1].

  • UML-Tools 2.0 Intern
    Software Systems E ngineering H. Eichelberger, Y. Eldogan, K. Schmid A Comprehensive Analysis of UML Tools, their Capabilities and their Compliance August 2011 Version 2.0 IfI Report Nr. 1/2012 Software Systems Engineering Institut für Informatik Universität Hildesheim Marienburger Platz 22 D-31134 Hildesheim A comprehensive survey of UML tool capabilities and compliance A comprehensive survey of UML tool capabilities and compliance Executive Summary The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been widely adopted in software engineering prac- tice in industry over the last decade. A large range of different tools have been developed both from industrial providers as well as open source tools. However, due to the complexity of the UML specification it is very difficult for a single tool to support the full range of UML stand- ards faithfully. In practice tools differ significantly in terms of the parts of the UML specifica- tion they support. The decision of a development organization for a specific tool environment is a very significant one, which typically leads to a significant amount of costs (e.g., in terms of training), out of which the licensing costs, though significant, are often only a minor part. Thus, the tool needs to be chosen with very much care. As one aid towards a rational tool selection decision, this report provides the most comprehensive comparison of UML tools currently available. This study provides the most comprehensive assessment of the current tool support. It combines a detailed information collection effort for each individual tool, a broad range of tools analyzed and also analyzed UML compliance as defined by the OMG.

  • A Modular Graphical Editing Architecture for Flexible Modeling
    Fakultät für Ingenieurwissenschaften, Informatik und Psychologie Institut für Softwaretechnik und Programmiersprachen CouchEdit – A Modular Graphical Editing Architecture for Flexible Modeling Masterarbeit an der Universität Ulm Vorgelegt von: Leander Nachreiner Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Matthias Tichy Prof. Dr. Manfred Reichert Betreuer: Dr. Alexander Raschke 2019 Fassung 11. Februar 2020 c 2019 Leander Nachreiner Satz: PDF-LATEX 2" Zusammenfassung Modelle sind seit langer Zeit ein wichtiger Bestandteil in Systementwicklungsprozessen. Insbesondere die Forschung und Entwicklung im Bereich der Modellgetriebenen Entwick- lung (MDE) zielt darauf ab, einen problemorientierten Ansatz zur Umsetzung komplexer Systeme zu schaffen. Eine tragende Säule dieses Forschungsgebiets ist die Verwendung grafischer / diagrammbasierter Notationen, die dem Benutzer eine besonders intuitive Interaktion mit dem Modell ermöglichen und dabei kognitive Fähigkeiten nutzen, welche mit textbasierten Ansätzen nicht in Anspruch genommen werden können. In der Verwendung dieser grafischen Notationen gibt es allerdings noch Potenzial zur Ver- besserung: Die Unterstützung solcher Workflows durch Werkzeuge ist Untersuchungen zufolge immer noch nicht optimal, da diese Applikationen oftmals schlechte Benutzbarkeit und damit schlechte Modeling Experience, also Benutzererfahrung beim Modellieren, aufweisen. Zudem sollen auch allgemein Entwicklungen in der Welt von Produktivitäts- werkzeugen, wie das verteilte und kollaborative Arbeiten, Modellierungswerkzeugen nicht vorenthalten bleiben.
