Cognitive support, UML adherence, and XMI interchange in Argo/UML

Cognitive support, UML adherence, and XMI interchange in Argo/UML

Software design is a cognitively challenging task. Most software design tools provide support for editing, viewing, storing, and transforming designs, but lack support for the essential and difficult cognitive tasks facing designers. These cognitive tasks include decision-making, decision ordering, and task-specific design understanding. This paper describes Argo/UML, an object-oriented design ...

XMI Opens Application Interchange

Report : UML model exchange using XMI

Generic XMI-Based UML Model Transformations

XML-based Metadata Interchange (XMI) is an interchange format for metadata defined in terms of the MOF standard. In addition to supporting the exchange of complete models, XMI supports the exchange of models in differential form. Our paper builds on this feature to examine the possibility of XMI-based generic transformations of UML models. A generic transformation can be configured to generate ...

Diagram Interchange for UML

XMI is a standardized mechanism for exchanging UML models. However, this mechanism does not sufficiently fulfill the goal of a model interchange: it does not include the exchange of diagram information. XMI as defined for UML 1.x is only capable of transporting information on the elements in an UML model but not information as to how these elements are represented and laid out in diagrams. This...
