Agenda
• UML Usage in Practice• Modelling Spaces and the UML
– Problem; Solution; Background Spaces
• Mapping the UML diagrams to the Modelling Spaces– Role based Rating
• Conclusions and Future Directions
Comments sought for potential IRMJ publication

The UML Today
• The UML is a modeling Language for communication– Conceptual and Physical representation of System
• VISUALIZING: – Graphic models of Requirements to Design
• SPECIFYING:– Precise and Complete stating of Requirements and
Designs • CONSTRUCTING:
– UML models can be directly connected to a variety of Programming Languages (C++, Java, VB, SmallTalk)
• DOCUMENTING:– Requirements, Architecture, Design, Project Plans,
Tests, Prototypes etc.

Mostly New Development; UML extensively in Problem Space
Data-intensive Projects; UML in Solution and Background Spaces; Not muchuse in Problem Space
Short, intensive projects;UML should be Balances in All Modeling Spaces

Conclusions & Future Directions
• Practical UML usage requires:– Understanding of the Problem,
Solution and Background Modeling Spaces
– Mapping UML diagrams to Roles in each of the Modeling spaces
• Future Directions:– Incorporating Modeling Spaces
into Processes– Inter-connection between
Diagrams in different Modeling Spaces; and the roles.
