UML-profile for multimedia software architectures

Multimedia technology is increasingly being used to create reliable and effective communication environments. However, the design of multimedia applications is currently driven more by intuition than by empirically or theoretically derived design guidelines. In a multimedia application, the software architecture is defined as a set of components manipulating various multimedia data types with s...

Documenting Software Architectures using UML

As software systems become large and more complex, focus on main design issues is shifted from algorithms and data structures. Software architecture, which represents high-level organization of software system, brings whole new set of design issues: overall system organization, global control structures, communication protocols, data access and synchronization, as well as choosing between diffe...

UML requirements for Distributed Software Architectures

The use in various projects of UML as the modeling notation for representing software systems, revealed the need for additional constructs and architectural views, especially in the field of distributed software architectures. This article identifies a list of requirements toward UML, which we find appropriate especially in its current standardization stage.

UML Profile for Agent-Oriented Software Engineering

The diversity of multi-agent systems creates the need for tools and methodologies to achieve their designs. UML has been proposed as a new approach for agent modeling, yet it does not support the concept of agents. This paper describes a UML profile that we defined for Multi-Agent Systems MAS. In order to support the definition of this profile the ArgoUML tool was extended. The extended tool al...
