thanks
Deepasree

it will be started in my company....so that i hv to prepare for UML(Unified modeling language)

Hi friend..

The unified modeling language (uml) is developed as a graphical language for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive system. The unified modeling language offers a standard way to write a system's blueprints, including conceptual things such as business processes and system functions as well as concrete things such as programming language statements, database schemas, and reusable software components.[1]

uml is officially defined as the object management group (omg) by the uml metamodel, a meta-object facility metamodel (mof). Like other mof-based specifications, uml has allowed software developers to concentrate more on design and architecture[citation needed]. Uml models may be automatically transformed to other representations (e.g. Java) by means of qvt-like transformation languages, supported by the omg. Uml is extensible, offering the following mechanisms for customization: profiles and stereotype. The semantics of extension by profiles have been improved with the uml 1.0 major revision.

Hope it helps

thanks

hi friend..

Tha main purpose of UML is

It is very important to distinguish between the UML model and the set of diagrams of a system. A diagram is a partial graphical representation of a system's model. The model also contains a "semantic backplane" — documentation such as written use cases that drive the model elements and diagrams.

UML diagrams represent three different views of a system model:

Functional requirements view

Emphasizes the functional requirements of the system from the user's point of view.
Includes use case diagrams.
Static structural view

Emphasizes the static structure of the system using objects, attributes, operations, and relationships.
Includes class diagrams and composite structure diagrams.
Dynamic behavior view

Emphasizes the dynamic behavior of the system by showing collaborations among objects and changes to the internal states of objects.
Includes sequence diagrams, activity diagrams and state machine diagrams.
UML models can be exchanged among UML tools by using the XMI interchange format.

hi friend..

What got an idea or still confused????

Thanks
Deepasree

Thyank you deepashree
for raising the UML concepts in the air for everyone.

Can you ppint out some good references how to start using UML for medelling the various diagrams in this area. What could be the free tools available to work on this as everyone is not having Rational Rose.

Can you also post some ready to reference series os UML diagrams and the related documentation for a programmer of startup software designer.

Thanks
Pawan

Thanks!

This is a good source of information for learning abt UML.

Please also advise on any free Tools to work for creating UML as we do not have any licenesed software for this as Rational Rose or SmartDraw. I know that I can download any trial edition but that is not going to work more than a month at the most. My company will not afford to buy a one till I use the concept for one of the application and they find it a worth.

Thanks in advance.
