“…Apart from textural representation, graphical modeling is possible with a use of Acme Studio. -UML Real-Time profile [24] (UML-RT) was originally developed for telecommunication industry. The profile provides a natural home for expressing runtime structures, and supplies a semantic mapping to UML.…”

Architectural design and design decisions are the key components of architectural knowledge. However, concerns, rationales, and risks should be also captured to prevent knowledge vaporization. So, how to deal with architectural knowledge in incremental knowledge refinement? We believe that usage of the knowledge repository system can support architecture evolution. In this paper, a model of knowledge repository is presented. In this model, the decision-centric approach is complemented with the architectural views to support indirect interrelations between design decisions. Support for agile development was one of the key aspects of the model design, therefore knowledge vaporisation might be reduced.

“…Since its adoption as a standard, the UML has been used in a large number of time-critical and resource-critical distributed systems [24][25][26][27][28]. Based on this experience, a consensus has emerged that, while being useful, UML is lacking some modeling notations in key areas that are of particular concern to designers.…”

A UML-based quantitative framework for early prediction of resource usage and load in distributed real-time systems

This paper presents a quantitative framework for early prediction of resource usage and load in distributed real-time systems (DRTS). The prediction is based on an analysis of UML 2.0 sequence diagrams, augmented with timing information, to extract timed-control flow information. It is aimed at improving the early predictability of a DRTS by offering a systematic approach to predict, at the design phase, system behavior in each time instant during its execution. Since behavioral models such as sequence diagrams are available in early design phases of the software life cycle, the framework enables resource analysis at a stage when design decisions are still easy to change. Though we provide a general framework, we use network traffic as an example resource type to illustrate how the approach is applied. We also indicate how usage and load analysis of other types of resources (e.g., CPU and memory) can be performed in a similar fashion. A case study illustrates the feasibility of the approach.

“…The architectural design usually involves organizing the system as a set of interacting, concurrent processes [29]. There are UML extensions supporting real-time systems, part of UML-RT [30,31]. Such an extension is useful for modeling a toolkit or framework supporting groupware development, such as in [9±14].…”

Groupware is explicitly designed to support the cooperation among group members. The implementation of cooperation-aware groupware is supported by several object-oriented toolkits and frameworks, but there is no unified way to model applications built on top of these. We have proposed UML-G as an extensible UML profile for modeling groupware and are in the process of turning it into a community effort. In this article, we identify modeling needs specific to shared data modeling. Shared data is a prerequisite to supporting cooperating users. We present UML extensions to address the identified needs as a part of UML-G. Usage scenarios demonstrate how UML-G can be used to assist shared data modeling. UML-G provides explicit modeling of shared data related aspects. In addition, it supports a shared understanding between developers, which is independent of, and thus abstracts from, the latter implementation. CASE tool support for UML-G strengthens its practical relevance
