Describing Software Architecture with UML
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes our experience using UML, the Unified Modeling Language, to describe the software architecture of a system. We found that it works well for communicating the static structure of the architecture: the elements of the architecture, their relations, and the variability of a structure. These static properties are much more readily described with it than the dynamic properties. We could easily describe a particular sequence of activities, but not a general sequence. In addition, the ability to show peer-to-peer communication is missing from UML.

%675$&7 We describe ConcernBASE, a UML-based approach that is an instantiation of the IEEE’s Conceptual Framework (Std 1471) for describing software architectures. We show how the approach supports advanced separation of concerns in software architecture by allowing one to identify and define multiple viewpoints, concern spaces and views of an architecture. Our work focuses on integrating the C...
متن کاملAvailability evaluation of Software architecture of object oriented Style using coloured Petri nets
Software architecture is one of the most fundamental products in the process of software development in the areas of behavioral or non- behavioral features like availability or transformability change. There are different ways to evaluate software architecture one of which is the creation of application model. An executable model of software architecture is an official description of architectu...
متن کاملUML + ROOM as a Standard ADL?
Designing a software system’s architecture properly is one of the most important tasks of any software engineering project. Nevertheless there exists no common definition of the term “software architecture” and no standard software architecture description language (ADL). This paper discusses whether the standard OO modeling language UML is a standard ADL, explains some deficiencies if used for...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of software security: an approach based on UML/SecAM and evidence theory
Quantitative and model-based prediction of security in the architecture design stage facilitates early detection of design faults hence reducing modification costs in subsequent stages of software life cycle. However, an important question arises with respect to the accuracy of input parameters. In practice, security parameters can rarely be estimated accurately due to the lack of sufficient kn...
متن کاملUML for architectural design
Describing the architectural design (i.e. the mapping from a logical functional model to a concrete system) is a general problem in software system engineering. While notations have been defined to describe abstract models and implementations, little work has been done in order to define a notation for architectural design. Solutions are proposed in UML for describing the system software struct...
