Architecture and Design: Unified Modeling Language (UML) Intro 'The Unified Modeling Language ( UML ) is a language for specifying, constructing, visualizing, and documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive system
First and foremost, the Unified Modeling Language fuses the concepts of Booch, OMT, and OOSE
The result is a single, common, and widely usable modeling language for users of these and other methods
Second, the Unified Modeling Language pushes the envelope of what can be done with existing methods
Third, the Unified Modeling Language focuses on a standard modeling language, not a standard process
The UML specifies a modeling language that incorporates the object-oriented community's consensus on core modeling concepts

UML is a language that includes a standardized graphical notation that may be used to create an abstract model of a system, sometimes referred to as the UML model
UML may be considered as an extensible modeling language since it offers a profile mechanism to customize the language
If a concept you need is not present in the base language, you may introduce it by defining a
UML is a language

In 1996 the Three Amigos decided that a Unified Modeling Language was more viable than a Unified Method, and redirected their efforts to respond to the Request for Proposal (RFP) for an object modeling language ('Object Analysis & Design RFP-1', OMG document ad/96-05-01), which was issued in June 1996
Under the technical leadership of Three Amigos, an international consortium called the was organized in 1996 to complete the Unified Modeling Language (UML) specification, and propose it as a response to the OMG RFP
It is now an international standard: / 19501:2005 Information technology -- Open Distributed Processing -- Unified Modeling Language (UML) Version 1.4.2 UML has matured significantly since UML 1.1

XML is a sophisticated subset of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language: ISO 8879), and provides the following advantages: Application neutrality (vender independence) User extensibility Ability to represent arbitrary and complex information Validation scheme of data structure Human readability UXF facilitates: Interoperability between development tools: Software models are dynamically changed in the analysis, design, revision and maintenance phases
Pattern Markup Language (PML) PML (Pattern Markup Language) is a XML-based format to describe software patterns
(June 1998) Available format: [ | ] Abstract: As Unified Modeling Language (UML) provides most of the concepts and notations that are essential for documenting object-oriented models, it has been widely accepted in the software engineering area
This paper addresses this problem and proposes UXF (UML eXchange Format), which is an exchange format for UML models, based on XML (Extensible Markup Language)
In the software engineering community, Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been widely accepted as an object-oriented software analysis/design methodology, since it provides most of the concepts and notations that are essential for documenting object oriented models
Cecil/Vortex Project Paper: "Specification & Rationale"
Specification and rationale: pure object-oriented, prototype-based, statically-typed,
to support fast writing of reliable, extensible systems.
The Cecil Language: Specification & Rationale Craig Chambers and the Cecil Group Cecil is a purely object-oriented language intended to support rapid construction of high-quality, extensible software
Cecil includes a fairly flexible form of parameterization, including explicitly parameterized objects, types, and methods, as well as implicitly parameterized methods related to the polymorphic functions commonly found in functional languages
This document mixes the specification of the language with discussions of design issues and explanations of the reasoning that led to various design decisions

Building bug-free OO software: An introduction to Design by Contract
Advanced use of assertions for clearer specifications and greater software
reliability. By OO guru Bertrand Meyer, creator of Eiffel.
A technique for dealing with abnormal cases, leading to a safe and effective language construct for exception handling
The ideas developed below are part of [, ] which the reader is urged to view here not so much as a programming language but rather as a software development method
This has the advantage that the specification language is embedded in the design and programming language (here Eiffel), whereas formal specification languages are typically non-executable or, if they are executable, can only be used for prototypes
Here our criteria are more demanding: we want our language to be used for practical commercial development and hence to yield efficient implementation
The Eiffel language rules for assertion redefinition [] support the principle of subcontracting
(See the new edition of [1] for the most up-to-date description.) An extended specification language , allowing the expression of a richer set of assertions
Design by Contract has already been widely applied; the theory provides a powerful thread throughout the object-oriented method, and addresses many of the issues that many people are encountering as they start applying O-O techniques and languages seriously: what kind of "methodology" to apply, on what concepts to base the analysis step, how to specify components, how to document object-oriented software, how to guide the testing process and, most importantly, how to build software so that bugs do not show up in the first place
