One thing hasn’t changed, though: UML Distilled is the place to begin. Over the years, Martin Fowler’s short book has collected raves from folks who know...folks like Jim Rumbaugh and Stephen J. Mellor. It’s just so accessible, clear, realistic — and so well-focused on the essence of UML. This edition’s no exception. Many folks treat UML as a tool for informal, collaborative “sketching”: roughing out issues and alternatives or clarifying a legacy system’s behavior. This may be the only UML book they’ll ever need. Others use it to build exhaustive blueprints for coding. Some are even trying to compile UML diagrams directly to executable code: The UML is the source. Blueprinters and “executable XML” types will eventually need to go beyond this book’s 170 pages, but Fowler does a superb job of getting them started. After a thoughtful essay on integrating UML into your workflow, he introduces each “official” UML diagram type. He begins with class diagrams — from the basics through advanced topics such as parameterization. There’s a solid introduction to use cases: the diagrams, when to use them, and how they relate to features and “user stories.” There’s expert coverage of state machine diagrams, from internal activities to concurrent states. Among the many UML 2 updates: a new chapter on composite structures for describing classes hierarchically (very helpful in managing complexity). There’s also far more coverage of activity diagrams, which have been extensively enhanced to permit the modeling of complex processes. If you’re new to UML, you’ll admire this slim volume.

Every integrated software development environment in the world—open-source, standards-based, and proprietary—now supports UML and, more importantly, the model-driven approach to software development. This makes learning the newest UML standard, UML 2.0, critical for all software developers—and there isn't a better choice than this clear, step-by-step guide to learning the language." —Richard Mark Soley, Chairman and CEO, OMG If you're like most software developers, you're building systems that are increasingly complex. Whether you're creating a desktop application or an enterprise system, complexity is the big hairy monster you must manage. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) helps you manage this complexity. Whether you're looking to use UML as a blueprint language, a sketch tool, or as a programming language, this book will give you the need-to-know information on how to apply UML to your project, While there are plenty of books available that describe UML, Learning UML 2,0 will show you how to use it. Topics covered include: • Capturing your system’s requirements in your model to help you ensure that your designs meet your users' needs • Modeling the parts of your system and their relationships • Modeling how the parts of your system work together to meet your system’s requirements • Modeling how your system moves into the real world, capturing how your system will be deployed Engaging and accessible, this book shows you how to use UML to craft and communicate your project’s design. Russ Miles and Kim Hamilton have written a pragmatic introduction to UML based on hard-earned practice, not theory. Regardless of the software process or methodology you use, this book is the one source you need to get up and running with UML 2.0. Additional information including exercises can be found at www.learninguml2.com. Russ Miles is a software engineer for General Dynamics UK, where he works with Java and Distributed Systems, although his passion at the moment is Aspect Orientation and, in particular, AspectJ. Kim Hamilton is a senior software engineer at Northrop Grumman, where she’s designed and implemented a variety of systems including web applications and distributed systems, with frequent detours into algorithms development.

When used as a common modeling language for the many facets of system development, the UML can serve as a unifying framework that facilitates the integration of database models with the rest of a system design. This pragmatic guide introduces you to the UML and leads you through the process of UML-based database modeling and design. The book presents the different types of UML diagrams, explaining how they apply to the database world, and shows how data modeling with the UML can be tied into the Rational Unified Process. UML for Database Design is structured around the database design process: business use case modeling, business object modeling, database requirements definition, analysis and preliminary design, and, finally, detailed design and deployment. For each phase of development the book describes the overall objectives and workflow of that phase, the status of the case study, the relevant UML constructs, and the nuts and bolts of database modeling and design with the UML. Drawing on their extensive industry experience, the authors reveal the trials and tribulations of database development teams, lessons learned, and pointers for success. Topics covered include: * The business use case model * Activity and sequence diagrams for modeling database functions and tasks * Moving from the business to system model * Class diagrams and statecharts * Mapping classes to tables * Transformation of attributes * Rational’s UML Profile for Database Design * Creating tables from classes * DDL scripts, component diagrams, and deployment diagrams * Jump starting the database design process A case study runs throughout the book to illustrate key concepts and techniques, and appendixes containing the actual UML models from this case study are used to catalog the type and extent of models that would be developed for such a system. Practical, concrete, and based on real-life experience, UML for Database Design brings you exactly the information you need to begin working with the UML and take full advantage of the technology for high-quality database modeling and design.

This paper attempts to approach the domain of business modelling. The process of business modelling is employed in order to create an abstraction of an otherwise complex business. This will enable business stakeholders (owners, customers, management, etc) to gain a better understanding of the business functions and also promote business improvements and/or innovation.

Covering the breadth of a large topic, this book provides a thorough grounding in object-oriented concepts, the software development process, UML and multi-tier technologies.Показать полностьюCovering the breadth of a large topic, this book provides a thorough grounding in object-oriented concepts, the software development process, UML and multi-tier technologies. After covering some basic ground work underpinning OO software projects, the book follows the steps of a typical development project (Requirements Capture — Design — Specification & Test), showing how an abstract problem is taken through to a concrete solution. The book is programming language agnostic — so code is kept to a minimum to avoid detail and deviation into implementation minutiae. A single case study running through the text provides a realistic example showing development from an initial proposal through to a finished system. Key artifacts such as the requirements document and detailed designs are included. For each aspect of the case study, there is an exercise for the reader to produce similar documents for a different system.

This crash course is designed to provide you with a set of short lessons that you can grasp quickly—in one weekend.

TheUnified Modeling Language (UML) is one of those languages. UML makes it possible for team members to collaborate byproviding a common language that applies to a multitude ofdifferent systems. Essentially, it enables you tocommunicate solutions in a consistent, tool-supportedlanguage. Today, UML has become the standard method for modelingsoftware systems, which means you're probably confrontingthis rich and expressive language more than ever before. And even though you may not write UML diagrams yourself,you'll still need to interpret diagrams written by others. UML 2.0 in a Nutshell from O'Reilly feels your pain. It'sbeen crafted for professionals like you who must read,create, and understand system artifacts expressed using UML.Furthermore, it’s been fully revised to cover version 2.0 ofthe language. This comprehensive new edition not only provides aquick-reference to all UML 2.0 diagram types, it alsoexplains key concepts in a way that appeals to readersalready familiar with UML or object-oriented programmingconcepts. Topics include: The role and value of UML in projects The object-oriented paradigm and its relation to the UML An integrated approach to UML diagrams Class and Object, Use Case, Sequence, Collaboration,Statechart, Activity, Component, and Deployment Diagrams Extension Mechanisms The Object Constraint Language (OCL) If you're new to UML, a tutorial with realistic examples haseven been included to help you quickly familiarize yourselfwith the system.

Augmented by the Rational Unified Process, an extensive set of software development guidelines, and the Rational Rose visual modeling tool, the UML greatly facilitates the development of quality object-oriented applications that meet both deadlines and requirements. Visual Modeling with Rational Rose 2000 and UML is a comprehensive introduction and tutorial providing guidance on how to use a tool (Rational Rose 2000), a process (the Rational Unified Process), and a language (the UML) to successfully visualize, specify, document, and construct a software system. Written by the Rose Evangelist at Rational Software Corporation, a leader in UML and object technology, this book breaks the technology down to its essentials and provides clear explanations of each element. It follows a simplified version of the Rational Unified Process from project inception through system analysis and design. A sample case study running throughout the book illustrates this iterative development process, the UML in practice, and the application of Rational Rose. New appendices demonstrate code generation and reverse engineering using Rational Rose 2000 with the Visual C, C, and Visual Basic languages.

Унифицированный язык моделирования UML (Unified Modeling Language) позволяет создать своеобразный чертеж, подробно описывающий архитектуру системы. С помощью такого описания (или модели) упрощается разработка и обновление программой системы, а также гарантируется реализация всех технических требований к приложениям. В данной книге рассматривается проектирование систем на языке UML в среде Rational Rose 2001, 2001A и 2002. Среда Rose является лидирующей в области ускоренной разработки и поддерживает разнообразные диаграммы UML: Вариантов Использования, Активности, Последовательности, Кооперативные, Состояний, Компонентов и Размещения. Средства Rose для инжиниринга и реинжиниринга обеспечивают поддержку языков C++, Java, Visual Basic и DTD XML. Дополнительные надстройки для среды Rose позволяют расширить ее функции и работать с другими объектно-ориентированными языками программирования.

UML представляет собой нотацию, которую должны знать и понимать все разработчики программного обеспечения. Возможности языка UML исключительно широки, но не все они важны в равной степени. Поэтому авторы первого издания «UML в кратком изложении», заслуженно признанного лучшим кратким руководством по основам языка UML, сочли возможным рассмотреть лишь самые важные его аспекты. Второе издание «UML Основы», сохранив краткий стиль изложения, позволяет быстро изучить язык и приступить к его применению. Материал книги существенно обновлен и дополнен диаграммами вариантов использования, диаграммами деятельности и расширения кооперации, а также новым приложением, детально описывающим отличия разных версий языка UML. Книга написана для тех, кто знаком с основами объектно-ориентированного анализа и проектирования. Она начинается с обзораистории возникновения, разработки и обоснования языка UML Затем рассматривается возможность интеграции языка UML в объектно-ориентированный процесс разработки. М. Фаулер рассматривает в контексте UML различные методы моделирования, такие как варианты использования, диаграммы классов и диаграммы взаимодействия, описывает ясно и кратко нотацию и семантику. Уделено внимание полезным не-UML методам: CRC-картам и образцам. В книге приводятся практические рекомендации, основанные на 12-летнем опыте автора, а также небольшой пример программы на языке Java, иллюстрирующий реализацию UML-проекта. Освоив ключевые аспекты языка, читатели приобретут базовые знания, необходимые для построения моделей и углубленного изучения UML.

The highly effective, two-part organization covers the theory of operating systems, their historical roots, and their conceptual basis (which does not change substantially); and how these theories are applied in the specifics of five operating systems (which evolve constantly). The authors explain a technical subject in a not-so-technical manner, with enough detail to allow the reader to understand the complexities of both stand-alone and networked operating systems. Understanding Operating Systems features a clear, converstional style, verbal explanation supported by concrete examples, and graphic illustrations that readers can easily grasp.
