ABSTRACT
Drawing diagrams is one of the most important activities during software development processes. A multitude of sketch-based diagram tools were developed to enhance sketching with digital features. However, these applications are not as flexible as paper and often obstruct spontaneous sketching. To overcome these drawbacks we suggest the usage of digital pens and paper in conjunction with sketch-based UML diagram tools. This paper deals with work in progress concerning the seamless integration of paper-based and digital UML-sketching. Amongst others, this includes special UML sketch books and paper palettes used in combination with tabletops.

To do that we introduce DFD meta modelby using UML class diagrams and Object ...
Modeling aspects with UML's class, sequence and state diagrams in an industrial setting
SEA '07: Proceedings of the 11th IASTED International Conference on Software Engineering and ApplicationsAspect oriented programming allows software developers to modularize crosscutting concerns. While the emphasis has been on program implementation, it has been argued that applying aspect orientation at the design level can also be beneficial. However, ...
