Concise and easy-to-understand guidelines and standards for creating UML 2.0 diagrams.

The elements of UML style is for all developers who create models using the Unified Modeling Language (UML), especially in teams where understandability and consistency are critical. The author describes a collection of standards and guidelines for creating effective UML diagrams that will be concise and easy to understand. This book provides conventions for: class diagrams, use case diagrams, sequence diagrams, activity diagrams, state chart diagrams, collaboration diagrams, deployment diagrams, and component diagrams. The elements of UML style sets the rules for style that will improve your productivity.

For all developers who create models using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.x The Elements of UMLTM 2.0 Style sets the rules for style that will improve your productivity - especially in teams, where understandability and consistency are critical. Coming from renowned UML expert Scott Ambler, the book furnishes a set of rules for modelling in the UML and describes a collection of standards and guidelines for creating effective UML diagrams that will be concise and easy to understand. It provides conventions for: Class diagrams; Timing Diagrams; Use case diagrams; Composite Structure Diagrams; Sequence diagrams; Interaction Overview Diagrams; Activity diagrams; Object diagrams; State machine diagrams; Package diagrams; Communication diagrams; Deployment diagrams and Component diagrams. The Elements of UMLTM 2.0 Style sets the rules for style that will improve your productivity.

"This book describes all the major UML diagram types, what they're used for, and the basic notation involved in creating and deciphering them. These diagrams include class, sequence, object, package, deployment, use case, state machine, activity, communication, composite structure, component, interactive overview, and timing diagrams."--P.

A tool-independent and process-independent roadmap for successfully applying the Unified Modeling Language (UML). UML is a modeling language for specifying, visualizing, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a system-intensive process. It was originally conceived by Rational Software Corporation and three of the most prominent methodologists in the information systems and technology industry: Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson. This text contains numerous practical real-world examples to help novice and expert users understand the whole language (holistically and cohesively), including rules of usage and principles of composition, style guidelines, and a roadmap for successfully applying the UML.

Uses friendly, easy-to-understand For Dummies style to help readers learn to model systems with the latest version of UML, the modeling language used by companies throughout the world to develop blueprints for complex computer systems Guides programmers, architects, and business analysts through applying UML to design large, complex enterprise applications that enable scalability, security, and robust execution Illustrates concepts with mini-cases from different business domains and provides practical advice and examples Covers critical topics for users of UML, including object modeling, case modeling, advanced dynamic and functional modeling, and component and deployment modeling

This book constitutes the post conference proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Enterprise and Organizational Modeling and Simulation, EOMAS 2011, held in conjunction with CAiSE 2011 in London, UK, in June 2011. Enterprises are purposefully designed systems used to fulfill certain functions. An extended enterprise and organizational study involves both analysis and design activities, in which modeling and simulation play prominent roles. The related techniques and methods are effective, efficient, economic, and widely used in enterprise engineering, organizational study, and business process management. The 14 contributions in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions, and they explore these topics, address the underlying challenges, find and improve on solutions, and demonstrate the application of modeling and simulation in the domains of enterprises, their organizations and underlying business processes.

Updated to cover UML 2.0, this student textbook provides a practical understanding of software design and development using UML. Case studies are used to illustrate good practice.
