Unified Modeling Language (UML) Introduction

Unified Modeling Language (UML) Introduction

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) was developed to create a common visual modeling language for the architecture, design, and implementation of the structure and behavior of large software systems.UML has applications outside of software development, such as industrial processes. This is an introduction to UML. You will learn what UML is, what the history of UML is, and a comprehensive description of all UML diagram types.

What is a composite state in a UML state machine diagram?

What is a composite state in a UML state machine diagram?

A simple state is one which has no substructure. A state which has substates (nested states) is called a composite state. Substates may be nested to any level. A nested state machine may have at most one initial state and one final state. Substates are used to simplify complex flat state machines by showing that some states are only possible within a particular context (the enclosing state).

What is Behavioral Things in UML?

The behavioral things is the dynamic part of the UML model. These are the verbs of a model. Represents actions in time and space. In general, there are two main kinds of behavioral things. (1) Interactions (2) state machines. They are the basic behavioral things that you may include in a UML model, typically the state machine diagram. Semantically, these elements are usually connected to various structural elements, primarily classes, collaborations, and objects.

What is Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN)

What is Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN)

CMMN is a graphical notation used for capturing work methods that are based on the handling of cases requiring various activities that may be performed in an unpredictable order in response to evolving situations. Using an event-centered approach and the concept of a case file, CMMN expands the boundaries of what can be modeled with BPMN, including less structured work efforts and those driven by knowledge workers. Using a combination of BPMN and CMMN allows users to cover a much broader spectrum of work methods.
