Articles on Unified Modeling Language (UML), Software Architecture and Data Modeling
This article illustrates the platform independent timing and synchronization rules used to support Executable UML applications. UML standardizes behavioral notations such as statecharts and sequence diagrams, but it does not define any synchronization rules.

This article considers the two most popular starting points for code generation UML for program modelling, part of the OMG’s Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach [2], and Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs), little languages that are created specifically to model some problem domain. It offesr advice on their usefulness for real-world development. We also ask whether UML
