Abstract
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the industry-standard
language, adopted by the Object Management Group (OMG) for specifying,
visualizing, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of software
systems. It simplifies the complex process of software design, making
a "blueprint" for construction. Rational Software's industry-leading
methodologists, Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson, and Jim Rumbaugh, led the
development of the UML. Based on extensive experience with the Booch,
OMT, and Jacobson methods, the UML is the evolution of these and other
approaches to business process, object, and component modeling. The
UML provides the application modeling language for:
- Business process modeling with use cases
- Class and object modeling
- Component modeling
- Distribution and deployment modeling
This presentation will consist of an introduction to the semantics of
the UML. Each of the supported diagrams and symbols will be
discussed, with a description of the process for application of the
UML in software development.
