Study Notes
Unified Modeling Language (UML)
- UML is a standardized language for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting software systems.
- Serves as a central notation in the software development process, facilitating communication and exploration of design options.
- Not to be confused with programming languages like C++, Java, or COBOL; it focuses on providing blueprints for systems.
Modeling Importance
- Models act as simplifications of reality and serve as blueprints for system architecture.
- Visual models break down complex systems into structural (organization) and behavioral (dynamics) components.
- Provides templates for building systems, aids in visualization, and ensures documentation consistency.
UML Views
Design View
- Involves classes, interfaces, and collaborations that express the problem-solving vocabulary.
- Primarily addresses functional requirements to ensure the system provides necessary services.
- Static aspects captured in class and object diagrams; dynamic aspects in interaction, statechart, and activity diagrams.
Process/Interaction View
- Encompasses threads and processes essential for concurrency and synchronization.
- Focuses on system performance, scalability, and throughput.
- Uses similar diagrams to the design view, emphasizing active classes linked to concurrency.
Implementation View
- Covers components and files required for assembling and releasing the physical system.
- Deals with configuration management of independent components, facilitating varied system assembly.
- Static aspects represented in component diagrams, dynamic aspects captured in interaction, statechart, and activity diagrams.
Deployment View
- Represents hardware topology and nodes where the system executes.
- Addresses distribution, delivery, and installation of system components.
- Static aspects visualized through deployment diagrams; dynamic aspects via interaction, statechart, and activity diagrams.
Common UML Relationships
- Dependency: Change in one element affects another.
- Association: A set of links connects elements in the model, representing how many objects are involved.
- Generalization: Connects specialized elements to generalized ones, illustrating inheritance relationships (parent-child).
- Realization: Describes how model elements connect where one implements responsibilities specified by another.
Notations and Mechanisms
- Each UML element has unique graphical notation detailing aspects like name, scope, and visibility.
- Stereotypes extend UML vocabulary, defining new elements specific to a problem domain.
- Tagged Values add custom properties to model elements for specification.
- Constraints specify conditions that must hold true for model elements.
Four Principles of Modeling
- Model choice influences problem-solving and solution shape.
- Models can be expressed at varying levels of precision.
- Effective models are tied to real-world contexts.
- No single model suffices; multiple independent models are essential for complexity.
Applications of UML
- Utilized in various sectors, including banking, telecommunications, transportation, defense, retail, and medical electronics.
- Adaptable to different system types: information systems, GUI-intensive systems, distributed systems, real-time systems, and web-based applications.
4+1 View Model of Architecture
- Use Case View: Describes system behavior from users' and analysts' perspectives, emphasizing the forces shaping the architecture rather than the system's organizational structure.
