History of UML⌘

Overview⌘

• OMG Standard
• The Unified Modeling Language (UML)
• Data modeling, business modeling (work flows), object modeling, and component modeling
• UML aims to be a standard modeling language which can model concurrent and distributed systems
• UML is a de-facto industry standard
• UML models may be automatically transformed to other representations (e.g. Java, PHP) by means of QVT-like transformation languages
• UML is extensible, through profiles', stereotypes and tagged values
• A lot of other languages are based on UML (SysML, SoaML)
• Usually default language for a lot of architecture frameworks (MoDAF, DoDAF, NAF)

UML Specification ⌘

• http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.5/
• Object Constraint Language (OCL) http://www.omg.org/spec/OCL/
• UML Diagram Interchange

UML Features⌘

• Does not define method (see Unified Process)
• UML defines both:
  • UML model (contains documentation and all relations)
  • UML diagrams (partial graphic representation of a system's model)
• UML can model both views of the system:
  • Static (structural)
  • Dynamic (behavioural)
• From 2.4.1 complete machine-readable definition of the language is available
• Contains 14 different diagarams
