“…For example, Thramboulidis and Christoulakis [27] UML profile that facilitates the transformation of interfaces from the Internet of Things (IoT) to the Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface. Besides, Marouane et al [28] introduce the profile with concepts related to real-time databases and integrate Object Constraint Language (OCL) to enforce the variation points consistency. As was mentioned in the section I, Petrasch and Petrasch [11] presented Data Integration Patterns for the interoperability of IT systems.…”

In an increasing number of software applications, the execution of their functions depends on communication with external systems. Messaging enables the integration of information technology (IT) systems in a loosely-coupled manner. The paper aims to show the Integrated services architectural view and two methods of modeling messaging flows at the service and business levels. Service flows allow for modeling the communication between systems/services at the level of sending messages. In contrast, business flows model the entire course of interaction among cooperating applications. The methods employ an Integration flows diagram, which is a specialized version of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) Activity diagram. In addition, the business process task from the Integrated Processes view defines the context for the business flow. Moreover, the Use Cases view identifies the integration scope within requirements. All those views belong to the 1+5 architectural views model. The paper exerts extensibility mechanisms declared in the UML Profile for Messaging Patterns. Besides, the profile has been augmented with stereotypes for messaging patterns for the Apache Camel framework, stakeholders involved in communication, and up-to-date stereotypes for structural components. The methods were used in the integration design of sending orders and confirmations between the business applications of the brokerage house and the stock exchange.

“…Their solutions are usually represented with UML class, object, and interaction diagrams, sometimes exemplified by concrete arrangements of objects. Some researchers have discussed techniques to represent these patterns directly using UML or using UML extensions for patterns (like UML profiles) [38], [39], and few directly with UML templates [40], [41]. For instance, Sunyé discussed the representation of patterns with a former version of UML in which templates were named ''parameterized collaborations'' [40] and Vanwormhoudt et al with the current version of UML [30], [42].…”

UML templates are possibly the most neglected and misused piece of knowledge in UML modelling. This subject has been disregarded in the research and practice literature and even by modelling tools providers. This paper suggests that such oblivion results from a general misunderstanding that UML templates are just graphical representations of genericity like it is found in programming languages, and from the insufficient support from the modelling tools, with a consequence of poor usage of UML templates in practice. Indeed, the capabilities and potential of UML templates are far-reaching. Increasing awareness around them could bring significant benefits for UML users, namely, higher-level abstraction and reuse. Therefore, this paper provides a distilling tutorial on UML templates to highlight their flexibility and advantages. That presentation follows a tutorial style and is supported by several illustrative examples, varying from simpler to more complex ones. This tutorial reviews the Template construct's core concepts and terminology, presents constraining classifiers and shows how to define properties and operations as template parameters. Then, it presents and discusses advanced aspects such as operation templates, parameter defaults, the relationship between binding and generalization, and the specific semantics of package templates. Furthermore, the paper discusses the related work and uncovers some of the UML templates' limitations and opportunities for improvement.INDEX TERMS Object-oriented modelling, genericity, UML, templates, UML templates.

“…Furthermore, most object-oriented software projects are using object-oriented principles and reusable design patterns to solve common recurring design problem (Oruc et al, 2016;Thabasum and Sundar, 2012). With the use of design patterns, it is highly likely to result in a better and more maintainable system (Marouane et al, 2018;Yu et al, 2018). Moreover, design patterns also ease system modeling and improve the development process quality (Marouane et al, 2018).…”

Moreover, design patterns also ease system modeling and improve the development process quality (Marouane et al, 2018). Not only will it improve the quality of the system, but it also allows developers to have a rapid understanding on the software design, thus making maintenance easier (Yu et al, 2018).…”
