Gain the skills to effectively plan software applications and systems using the latest version of UML UML 2 represents a significant update to the UML specification, from providing more robust mechanisms for modeling workflow and actions to making the modeling language more executable. Now in its second edition, this bestselling book provides you with all the tools you'll need for effective modeling with UML 2. The authors get you up to speed by presenting an overview of UML and its main features. You'll then learn how to apply UML to produce effective diagrams as you progress through more advanced topics such as use-case diagrams, classes and their relationships, dynamic diagrams, system architecture, and extending UML. The authors take you through the process of modeling with UML so that you can successfully deliver a software product or information management system. With the help of numerous examples and an extensive case study, this book teaches you how to: * Organize, describe, assess, test, and realize use cases * Gain substantial information about a system by using classes * Utilize activity diagrams, state machines, and interaction diagrams to handle common issues * Extend UML features for specific environment or domains * Use UML as part of a Model Driven Architecture initiative * Apply an effective process for using UML The CD-ROM contains all of the UML models and Java?TM code for a complete application, Java?TM 2 Platform, Standard Edition, Version 1.4.1, and links to the Web sites for vendors of UML 2 tools.

Learn how to move to UML for current users of the Booch/OMT/Objectory methods * Provides numerous real-world examples and a complete case study that walks you through the project life cycle-analysis, design, and construction * Includes CD-ROM with Rational Rose(r) 4.0 demo, analysis and design models in UML, and Java(TM) code HANS-ERIK ERIKSSON AND MAGNUS PENKER Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to make the most of this revolutionary visual modeling language With the release of UML, object-oriented developers at last have a common language for modeling and developing software systems. That means less time wasted sorting out conflicting terms and symbols and more time spent modeling better software systems. Now this powerful book/CD package arms you with everything you need to make the most of UML and the rapidly growing suite of UML-based products. The authors walk you through the entire language, providing easy-to-follow guidelines and loads of real-world examples. They also give you detailed explanations of all UML diagrams, a full-length case study showing how UML is used to develop an application, a visual glossary of all UML notations, and step-by-step instructions on how to: * Move to UML from Booch, OMT, and Objectory * Map Java to UML-including many full-blown examples * Define design patterns and how to use patterns in UML * Describe real-time systems in UML * Employ use cases to capture a system's functional requirements On the CD-ROM you'll find: * All UML models from the book * All the Java code from the book * Demo version of Rational Rose(r) 4.0
