Minimal UML diagrams for a data-driven web site
Pages 229 - 232
Abstract
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) was developed for visually expressing the models of software-intensive systems. The extensive UML modeling process is overwhelming for undergraduate students who are only creating rather small data-driven web sites. We have identified a minimal subset of UML diagrams that can be used to effectively model small, well-defined projects that use a MySQL database with PHP scripting. Sixty-five students successfully completed an undergraduate Information Technology Capstone course using this proposed methodology while developing one or two incremental prototypes and a final, self-documented working product. The step-by-step process encouraged students to follow programming "best practices", including performing planning, analysis, and design before attempting to begin coding. Instructors also required weekly status reports and updated project plans to make the experience as realistic as possible. The general development methodology was found to be extremely successful.

An approach and tool for synchronous refactoring of UML diagrams and models using model-to-model transformations
WRT '12: Proceedings of the Fifth Workshop on Refactoring ToolsWhen refactorings are applied to software models that are specified using the Unified Modeling Language (UML), the actual model and the graphical presentation of the model using a diagram need to be distinguished. While UML refactoring tools exist, they ...
Finding Reusable UML Sequence Diagrams Automatically
Software analysts create many artifacts, and until recently, these have been cumbersome to reuse. REUSER is a CASE (computer-aided software engineering) tool that lets analysts automatically retrieve related artifacts for reuse. Evaluations of REUSER ...
Behavior Modeling with Interaction Diagrams in a UML and OCL Tool
BM-FA '14: Proceedings of the 2014 Workshop on Behaviour Modelling-Foundations and ApplicationsThis contribution discusses system modeling with UML behavior diagrams. We consider statecharts and both kinds of interaction diagrams, i.e., sequence and communication diagrams. We present new implementation features in a UML and OCL modeling tool: (1) ...
