Combining UML and SDL
نویسنده
چکیده
UML and SDL both have their own merits and form a strong alliance when combined in one methodology. In this paper we describe three scenarios for combining UML and SDL: Forward Engineering, Reverse Engineering and Round-Trip Engineering. The foundation that makes these scenarios possible is a profound translation between UML & SDL'96 concepts. We also explain how the translation is adapted to implement an incremental two-way translation between UML and SDL.

The Specification and Description Language (SDL) is a domain specific language that is well-established in the telecommunication sector since many years, but only a small set of SDL tools is available. In contrast, for the Unified Modeling Language (UML) a wide range of different kinds of tools can be used for various purposes, such as model transformation. In order to makes it possible to spec...

In the last two decades the Specification and Description Language (SDL) has been established in the telecommunication sector as a domainspecific modeling language. A disadvantage of SDL is the fact that only a small number of modeling tools for SDL is available. Another graphical modeling language is the Unified Modeling Language (UML) used for the model-based development of software systems. ...

UML and MSC are widely used by software practitioners. SDL is an ITU standard language for telecommunications software specification. It has a formal semantics, and is supported by several commercial tools, which allow for simulation and validation of SDL design specifications as well as automatic code generation from these specifications. In order to take advantages of the SDL available tools ...
متن کاملThe SDL ’ 05 conference in Grimstad
When the conference preparations started, the general situation was that the telecommunication industry was still short on budget and the interest in research in SDL and related technology was not that big from the industry. Universities also tended to go for other “fashionable” technologies, like the Unified Modelling Language (UML)3). So the big question was how to attract enough good people ...
