Combining Diagrams to Enhance Understanding: Forging a Common Language for Different World Views

چکیده
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become the de facto standard in object oriented systems design. It has, however, been subject to considerable criticism by analysts due to its complexity and inability to communicate complex systems models. This paper introduces ‘Modular UML,’ a modified presentation and communication format of the UML to more effectively understand multiple UML diagrams as a conceptual model of a complex system. The challenges modular UML are designed to address, the process of developing a modular UML set of exhibits, and an example are discussed.

Traceability of Unified Modeling Language Diagrams from Use Case Maps
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a general purpose modeling language for specifying, constructing and documenting the artifacts of software systems. It is used in developing systems by combining the use of different types of diagrams to express different views of the systems. These diagrams allow transition between requirements and implementation. The lack of traceability between the diag...
متن کاملGenerating Test Sequences from UML Sequence Diagrams and State Diagrams
UML models offer a lot of information that should not be ignored in testing. By combining different UML components, different views of the program under test are used. The paper concentrates on a technique for generating test cases from a combination of UML sequence and state diagrams. The main information is extracted from sequence diagrams, which is complemented by initialization sequences fo...
متن کاملQuality Tools to Reduce Crankshaft Forging Defects: An Industrial Case Study
Crankshafts are the most important loaded components in the case of an automobile. In order to achieve required mechanical properties most of crankshafts for automobile are forged with micro alloyed steel. Usually, the shapes of crankshafts are complex, and many defects are induced during the process of crankshaft forging such as under-filling, laps and folds etc. In this work the forging analy...
متن کاملThe Review Study of Forging and Effects on the Produced Part
There are several method for forming bulk material, such as forging, rolling and extrusion. Every of these methods have advantages and dis-advantages of their selves. Forging process is one of the most common of them that include a die, press and in some case heater with controlling system, and has a special place in automotive, military and aerospace industries due uniformity of the final prod...
متن کاملAssaying Vandevelde’s Approach to Gadamer
The purpose of this paper is to look at four important aspects of Vandevelde’s criticisms of Gadamer. First is his position on Gadamer’s claim that his hermeneutics is a “philosophical hermeneutics” and not a methodology. Second is Vandevelde’s view of interpretation as necessarily going back to the author’s intention, and the status of the “mental state” of the author. Is it relevant to int...
