About this title

Synopsis:

Thepastyearhasbeenaneventfuloneforthoseinterestedinsoftwaremodeling. The ?rst major revision of the Uni?ed Modeling Language, UML2.0, is in the process of adoption by the Object Management Group (OMG), and it makes many long-desired additions and improvements to UML. At the same time, it expands what was already a large language. A challenge for both practitioners andresearchersistohelpsmooththeadoptionofthisnewlanguage.Increasingly, attention is being paid to the use of specialized languages, often pro?les of UML, appropriate for di?erent purposes; this is one way to make UML less overwh- ming. Accordingly, the focus of the UML conference is gradually expanding from UML to software modeling in general. Simultaneously, model-driven development is being pursued as a way of - creasing the bene?ts from modeling throughout the software development p- cess. Gradually, it is developing from a set of slogans into a reality. Many of the papers in this volume are concerned, directly or indirectly, with how to make modeling, rather than coding, the heart of software development, and how to realize the resulting bene?ts of higher-level thinking. Much work remains to be done.

Synopsis:

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on the Unified Modelling Language, UML 2003, held in San Francisco, CA, USA in October 2003.The 25 revised full papers, 4 tool papers, and 1 experience paper presented together with the abstracts of 3 invited talks and summaries on the UML 2003 workshop and tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from initially 168 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on practical model management, time and quality of service, tools, composition and architecture, transformation, Web related issues, testing and validation, improving UML/OCL, consistency, and methodology.
