The Unified Modeling Language

UML is a standard language for modeling software systems.

• Serves as a bridge between the requirements specification and the implementation.

• Provides a means to specify and document the design of a software system.

• Is process and programming language independent.

• Is particularly suited to object-oriented program development.

Notation: Classes

Window

originsize

open()close()move()display()

name

attributes

operations

A class is a description of a set of objects that share the same attributes, operations, relationships and semantics.

4

Notation: Interface

An interface is a collection of operations that specify a service of a class or component, i.e., the externally visible behavior of that element.

ISpelling

5

Notation: Collaboration & Use Case

Place order

A use case is a description of a set of sequence of actions that a system performs that yields an observable result.

Chain of responsibility

A collaboration defines an interaction, i.e., a society of roles and other elements that work together to provide some cooperative behavior.

6

Notation: Active Class

EventManager

eventlist

suspend()flush()

An active class is a class whose objects own one or more processes or threads and therefore can initiate control activity.

7

Notation: Component & Node

orderform.java

A component is a physical and replaceable part of a system that conforms to and provides the realization of a set of interfaces.

Server

A node is a physical element that exists at run time and represents a computational resource.

8

Notation: Behavioral Things:Messages & States

display

An interaction is a behavior that comprises a set of messages exchanged among a set of objects within a particular context to accomplish a specific purpose.

Waiting

A state machine is a behavior that specifies the sequence of states an object or an interaction goes through during its lifetime in response to events.

9

Notation: Grouping and Annotation

A package is a general-purpose mechanism for organizing elements into groups.

Business rules

return copy of self

A note is a symbol for rendering constraints and comments attached to an element or a collection of elements.

10

Notation: Relationships

A dependency is a semantic relationship between two things in which a change to one may effect the semantics of the other.

0..1 *

employer employee

An association is a structural relationship that describes a set of links, a link being a connection among objects.

11

Notation: Relationships (continued)

A generalization is a specialization/generalization relationship is which objects of the specialized element (child) are substitutable for objects of the generalized element (parent).

child parent

A realization is a semantic relationship between classifiers, wherein one classifier specifies a contract that another classifier guarantees to carry out.

12

Diagrams in UML

A diagram is the graphical representation of a set of elements, usually rendered as a connected graph of vertices (things) and arcs (relationships).

• Class diagram shows a set of classes, interfaces, and collaborations with their relationships.

• Object diagram shows a set of objects and their relationships.

• Use case diagram shows a set of use cases and actors (a special kind of class) and their relationships.

13

Diagrams in UML (continued)

• Interaction diagram shows an interaction, consisting of a set of objects and the relationships, including the messages that may be dispatched among them.

=> A sequence diagram emphasizes the time ordering.

=> A collaboration diagram emphasizes the structural organization of the objects that send and receive messages.

14

Diagrams in UML (continued)

• Statechart diagram shows a state machine consisting of states, transitions, events, and activities.

• Activity diagram is a statechart diagram that shows the flow from activity to activity within a system.

• Component diagram shows the organization and dependencies among a set of components.

• Deployment diagram shows the configuration of processing nodes and the components that live on them.
