Abstract

The object-oriented modeling language UML offers various notations for all phases of application development. The user is left alone, however, when applying UML in up-to-date application development involving distribution, data management, and component-oriented mechanisms. Moreover, various shortcomings have been encountered, most notably w.r.t. refinement of model elements throughout the development life cycle and employment of interaction diagrams to formalize use cases. The paper will shed some light on how these issues may be handled with UML
