Topological UML Modeling: An Improved Approach for Domain Modeling and Software Development presents a specification for Topological UML that combines the formalism of the Topological Functioning Model (TFM) mathematical topology with a specified software analysis and design method. The analysis of problem domain and design of desired solutions within software development processes has a major impact on the achieved result developed software. While there are many tools and different techniques to create detailed specifications of the solution, the proper analysis of problem domain functioning is ignored or covered insufficiently. The design of object-oriented software has been led for many years by the Unified Modeling Language (UML), an approved industry standard modeling notation for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive system, and this comprehensive book shines new light on the many advances in the field. Presents an approach to formally define, analyze, and verify functionality of existing processes and desired processes to track incomplete or incorrect functional requirements Describes the path from functional and nonfunctional requirements specification to software design with step-by-step creation and transformation of diagrams and models with very early capturing of security requirements for software systems. Defines all modeling constructs as extensions to UML, thus creating a new UML profile which can be implemented in existing UML modeling tools and toolsets

Unified Modeling Language (UML): A Critical Evaluation and Suggested Future
HICSS '01: Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences ( HICSS-34)-Volume 3 - Volume 3The Unified Modeling Language (UML) represents a significant milestone in the evolution of software methods, since it provides the first industry standard object oriented modeling notation, supported by a fairly comprehensive meta-model. It has enjoyed ...
A Meta-Model Based Approach to UML Modelling
UKSIM '08: Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Computer Modeling and SimulationThis paper is devoted to a meta-model based approach to UML systems modelling. The approach allows creating a system model by operating with artefacts from the problem domain, followed by generation of a UML model. The discussed approach is illustrated ...
Domain-specific language modelling with UML profiles by decoupling abstract and concrete syntaxes
UML profiling presents some acknowledged deficiencies, among which the lack of expressiveness of the profiled notations, together with the high coupling between abstract and concrete syntaxes outstand. These deficiencies may cause distress among UML-...
