Abstract

UML is a widespread software modeling language. It can be a good candidate for modeling non-software systems, such as enterprise systems. While several proposals have been formulated, they are either incomplete or complex. In this paper we propose a modeling approach that is based on the basic object-orientation concepts. In particular we stress the use of instance models as a key concept. The enterprise domain is considered throughout the paper as a meaningful case.

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-...
