Articles on Unified Modeling Language (UML), Software Architecture and Data Modeling
This paper presents an approach that utilizes object technology and the UML notation for the development of communication protocols. Object technology has been widely adopted in many application domains and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become the new industry standard for modeling software-intensive systems. UML is currently used for modeling of just about any […]

The control-flows for five kinds of UML use cases are analyzed: for common use cases, variant use cases, component use cases, specialized use cases and for ordered use cases. The control-flow semantics of use cases – and of the uses-relation, the extends-relation and the precedes relation between use cases – is described in terms of

Object-oriented system modeling enables the sharing of responsibilities between system objects at a high level of system abstraction. The UML class diagram is the central part of the object-oriented system model and serves as a “bridge” between the information about the problem domain at the customer’s side and the software components at the developer’s side.

Aspect-orientation provides a new way of modularization by clearly separating crosscutting concerns from non-crosscutting ones. While aspect-orientation originally has emerged at the programming level, it now stretches also over other development phases. There are, for example, already several proposals to Aspect-Oriented Modeling (AOM), most of them pursuing distinguished goals, providing different concepts as well as

Design patterns for software development were introduced by Gamma et al. Subsequently, many hundreds of patterns have been identified, including patterns for specialized forms of development such as enterprise information systems. In this paper, we consider further patterns, based on a large number of case studies which we have carried out or analyzed.
