Book Description:

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

Table of Contents:
Organization and Special Features
The user guide is organized into seven major sections:
·         Section 1 Getting Started
·         Section 2 Basic Structural Modeling
·         Section 3 Advanced Structural Modeling
·         Section 4 Basic Behavioral Modeling
·         Section 5 Advanced Behavioral Modeling
·         Section 6 Architectural Modeling
·         Section 7 Wrapping Up
The user guide contains three appendices: a summary of the UML notation, a list of standard UML elements, and a summary of the Rational Unified Process. A glossary of common terms is also provided.
Each chapter addresses the use of a specific UML feature, and most are organized into the following four sections:
1.      Getting Started
2.      Terms and Concepts
3.      Common Modeling Techniques
4.      Hints and Tips
The third section introduces and then solves a set of common modeling problems. To make it easy for you to browse the guide in search of these use cases for the UML, each problem is identified by a distinct heading.
Each chapter begins with a summary of the features it covers, as in the following example.
In this chapter
·         Active objects, processes, and threads
·         Modeling multiple flows of control
·         Modeling interprocess communication
·         Building thread-safe abstractions
Similarly, parenthetical comments and general guidance are set apart as notes
