Executable/Translatable UML in Computing Education

چکیده
The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is a diagrammatic notation widely used in the computing industry and often taught in universities as a way to represent software requirements specifications and design descriptions. In this paper we identify a number of problems associated with teaching UML and how we have minimised their impact by making use of the Executable/Translatable UML ( T UML). We describe two case studies that demonstrate the benefits we have gained by using X T UML in our undergraduate and graduate teaching programs.

Executable UML plug-in for Eclipse
MDA is a standard from OMG and is used by industry as an approach to application design and implementation. MDA is a way to manage and organize enterprise architectures supported by automated tools and services for defining the models. MDA facilitates transformations between different model types. In MDA PIM models are directly transformed and executed. These PIM and PSM models and meta-models ...

This paper advocates the application of language embedding for executable UML modeling. In particular, txtUML is presented, a Java API and library to build UML models using Java syntax, then run and debug them by reusing the Java runtime environment and existing debuggers. Models can be visualized using the Papyrus editor of the Eclipse Modeling Framework and compiled to implementation language...

The paper presents a proposal of a method for MDA based “on-the-fly” modelling of Musical Real Time Applications. The method is based on use of the Executable and Translatable UML approach (xtUML) with regards to implementation on embedded systems. Since the goal is to implement a real-time application requiring certain real-time Quality of Service (QoS) properties, the real-time response requi...
متن کاملActor-eUML for Concurrent Programming
The advent of multi-core processors offers an opportunity to increase the usage of Executable UML. Researchers are advocating the division of software systems into a productivity layer and an efficiency layer to shield mainstream programmers from the complexities of parallelism. Such separation of application and platform concerns is the foundation of Executable UML. To leverage this opportunit...
