UML-F: A Modeling Language For Object-Oriented Frameworks
White Papers The paper presents the essential features of a new member of the UML language family that supports working with object-oriented frameworks. This UML extension, called UML-F, allows the explicit representation of framework variation points.

How The UML Models Fit Together
White Papers The difference is that a modeling language is more of a vocabulary or notation (in the case of UML, a mostly graphical notation) for expressing underlying object-oriented analysis and design ideas. At this point in its evolution, the UML is...

A Survey Of Approaches For Describing And Formalizing Use Cases
White Papers A use case is an object-oriented modeling construct that is used to define the behavior of a system. However, with the release of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) specification version 1.1, the scope of use cases has broadened to include...

Tool Support For Collaborative Teaching And Learning Of Object-Oriented Modeling
White Papers Modeling is central to doing and learning object-oriented development. The paper also discusses how Ideogramic UML is used to teach object-oriented modeling and the UML to groups of students using the UML for project assignments.

Semantic Object Language
White Papers While UML is the accepted visual language for object-oriented system modeling, it lacks a common semantic foundation with a standard visual syntax. Furthermore, it does not cleanly mesh with external visual modeling languages such as entity...

Reasoning With UML Class Diagrams
White Papers The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is likely to become an important industry standard language for modelling object-oriented systems. However, its use as a precise analysis tool is limited due to a lack of precise semantics and practical analysis...

Synthesis Of Real-Time Implementation From UML-RT Models
White Papers ROOM (Real-Time Object-Oriented Modeling) is an architecture description language widely used in the telecommunications industry to develop embedded software. The concepts of ROOM have been incorporated into the CASE tool Rational Rose Real-Time...
