Book Description

A comprehensive reference for an executable UML and the advantages of modeling This book presents the most up-to-date technology for rapidly developing information systems using the object-oriented paradigm and models, and establishes an executable profile of UML for such model-driven development. As a software developer, architect, or analyst, you’ll benefit from learning how information systems can be developed more efficiently using the object-oriented paradigm and model-driven approach.

Written by an expert who is uniquely qualified in the topic, this Wrox reference offers a profile of UML that is formal and executable, instead of the relational paradigm or its incomplete coupling with object orientation. It provides a comprehensive tutorial on model-driven development and UML.

• Provides an in-depth tutorial on using model-driven development and UML for building information systems, with extensive examples
• Includes tutorials and critics of traditional IS Read More ...

Book Description

A coherent and integrated account of the leading UML 2 semantics work and the practical applications of UML semantics developmentWith contributions from leading experts in the field, the book begins with an introduction to UML and goes on to offer in-depth and up-to-date coverage of:

• The role of semantics
• Considerations and rationale for a UML system model
• Definition of the UML system model
• UML descriptive semantics
• Axiomatic semantics of UML class diagrams
• The object constraint language
• Axiomatic semantics of state machines
• A coalgebraic semantic framework for reasoning about interaction designs
• Semantics of activity diagrams
• Verification of UML models
• State invariants
• Model transformation specification and verification

Additionally, readers are provided with expert guidance on how to resolve semantic problems and a section on applications of UML semantics with model analysis. Read More ...

Book Description

This book covers all you need to know to model and design software applications from use cases to software architectures in UML and shows how to apply the COMET UML-based modeling and design method to real-world problems. The author describes architectural patterns for various architectures, such as broker, discovery, and transaction patterns for service-oriented architectures, and addresses software quality attributes including maintainability, modifiability, testability, traceability, scalability, reusability, performance, availability, and security. Complete case studies illustrate design issues for different software architectures: a banking system for client/server architecture, an online shopping system for service-oriented architecture, an emergency monitoring system for component-based software architecture, and an automated guided vehicle for real-time software architecture. Organized as an introduction Read More ...

Book Description

“Since its original introduction in 1997, the Unified Modeling Language has revolutionized software development. 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 Read More ...

Book Description

If you want to use Visio for Enterprise Architects to quickly design and create enterprise software, this is the book for you.

The integration of Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect and Visio for Enterprise Architects is a formidable combination. Visio offers powerful diagramming capabilities, including such things as creating UML models, mapping out and generating databases, and aiding the development of distributed systems. Visio’s integration with Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect means that C# or Visual Basic(r) .NET code can be generated from UML diagrams, thus giving your projects a significant kick-start, and Visual Studio .NET projects can also be reverse engineered to UML models.

This book will finally help you make the most of Visio’s time- and labor-saving features, and unleash Visio’s power for your enterprise development.

To use this book you must be comfortable with the basic concepts of UML.

What you will learn from Read More ...
