This document describes a web application that can automatically generate Entity Relationship (ER) diagrams. It takes entity, attribute, and relationship details as input from the user and outputs an ER diagram. The proposed system has a 3-module architecture: 1) it accepts input from the user, 2) generates the ER diagram automatically based on the input, and 3) stores the output diagram. Experimental results demonstrate how diagrams are generated at different levels of complexity based on filtering of the input details. The automated generation of ER diagrams using this web application makes the process easier for users compared to traditional manual tools.

Keywords are extracted from the input text using term frequency, and sentences are scored and selected for the summary based on important keywords and nouns. The framework aims to reduce the complexity of manually creating ER diagrams by
The document provides information about UML (Unified Modeling Language), including its goals, why it is used, and common diagram types. UML is a standard language for specifying, constructing, and documenting software systems and business processes. It uses mainly graphical notations to express the design of software projects. Common UML diagram types include use case diagrams, class diagrams, interaction diagrams, state diagrams, activity diagrams, component diagrams, and deployment diagrams. Each diagram type shows different aspects of a system and allows developers and customers to view it from different perspectives.
Rumbaugh's Object Modeling Technique (OMT) is an object-oriented analysis and design methodology. It uses three main modeling approaches: object models, dynamic models, and functional models. The object model defines the structure of objects in the system through class diagrams. The dynamic model describes object behavior over time using state diagrams and event flow diagrams. The functional model represents system processes and data flow using data flow diagrams.

Jacquard Fabric Explained: Origins, Characteristics, and Usesldtexsolbl
In this presentation, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of Jacquard fabric. We start by exploring what makes Jacquard fabric so special. It’s known for its beautiful, complex patterns that are woven into the fabric thanks to a clever machine called the Jacquard loom, invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard back in 1804. This loom uses either punched cards or modern digital controls to handle each thread separately, allowing for intricate designs that were once impossible to create by hand.
Next, we’ll look at the unique characteristics of Jacquard fabric and the different types you might encounter. From the luxurious brocade, often used in fancy clothing and home décor, to the elegant damask with its reversible patterns, and the artistic tapestry, each type of Jacquard fabric has its own special qualities. We’ll show you how these fabrics are used in everyday items like curtains, cushions, and even artworks, making them both functional and stylish.
Moving on, we’ll discuss how technology has changed Jacquard fabric production. Here, LD Texsol takes center stage. As a leading manufacturer and exporter of electronic Jacquard looms, LD Texsol is helping to modernize the weaving process. Their advanced technology makes it easier to create even more precise and complex patterns, and also helps make the production process more efficient and environmentally friendly.
Finally, we’ll wrap up by summarizing the key points and highlighting the exciting future of Jacquard fabric. Thanks to innovations from companies like LD Texsol, Jacquard fabric continues to evolve and impress, blending traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology. We hope this presentation gives you a clear picture of how Jacquard fabric has developed and where it’s headed in the future.

2. 68 Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT)
purpose modeling language in the field of object-oriented software engineering. The standard is
managed, and was created, by the Object Management Group. It was first added to the list of
OMG adopted technologies in 1997, and has since become the industry standard for modeling
software-intensive systems. In software and systems engineering, a use case is a list of steps,
typically defining interactions between a role (known in UML as an "actor") and a system, to
achieve a goal. The actor can be a human or an external system. Use cases represent the things of
value that the system performs for its actors. Use cases are not functions or features, and they
cannot be decomposed. Use cases have a name and a brief description. They also have detailed
descriptions that are essentially, stories about how the actors use the system to do something they
consider important, and what the system does to satisfy these needs. In computer science,
abstraction is the process by which data and programs are defined with a representation similar in
form to its meaning (semantics), while hiding away the implementation details. Abstraction tries
to reduce and factor out details so that the programmer can focus on a few concepts at a time. A
system can have several abstraction layers whereby different meanings and amounts of detail are
exposed to the programmer. For example, low-level abstraction layers expose details of the
computer hardware where the program is run, while high-level layers deal with the business logic
of the program. We will investigate abstraction of data in use cases.
2. USE CASE MODELING
Use case modeling is to capture the system (to be) requirements making use of UML diagrams
like- Use case diagram, class diagram, activity diagram, sequence diagram and state-chart
diagram. It may further include other diagram as and when required. A use-case model is a model
of how different types of users interact with the system to solve a problem. As such, it describes
the goals of the users, the interactions between the users and the system, and the required
behavior of the system in satisfying these goals. A use-case model consists of a number of model
elements. The most important model elements are: use cases, actors and the relationships
between them. A use-case diagram is used to graphically depict a subset of the model to simplify
communications. There will typically be several use-case diagrams associated with a given
model, each showing a subset of the model elements relevant for a particular purpose. The same
model element may be shown on several use-case diagrams, but each instance must be consistent.
If tools are used to maintain the use-case model, this consistency constraint is automated so that
any changes to the model element (changing the name for example) will be automatically
reflected on every use-case diagram that shows that element. The use-case model may contain
packages that are used to structure the model to simplify analysis, communications, navigation,
development, maintenance and planning. Much of the use-case model is in fact textual, with the
text captured in the use-case specifications that are associated with each use-case model element.
These specifications describe the flow of events of the use case. The use-case model serves as a
unifying thread throughout system development. It is used as the primary specification of the
functional requirements for the system, as the basis for analysis and design, as an input to
iteration planning, as the basis of defining test cases and as the basis for user documentation.
3. ABSTRACTION AND DATA ABSTRACTION
Abstraction captures only those details about an object that are relevant to the current perspective.
The concept originated by analogy with abstraction in mathematics. The mathematical technique
of abstraction begins with mathematical definitions, making it a more technical approach than the
general concept of abstraction in philosophy. For example, in both computing and in
3. Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) 69
mathematics, numbers are concepts in the programming languages, as founded in mathematics.
Implementation details depend on the hardware and software, but this is not a restriction because
the computing concept of number is still based on the mathematical concept. Data abstraction
refers to, providing only essential information to the outside word and hiding their background
details i.e. representing the needed information in program without presenting the details. Data
abstraction is a programming (and design) technique that relies on the separation of interface and
implementation. Let's take one real life example of a TV which you can turn on and off, change
the channel, adjust the volume, and add external components such as speakers, VCRs, and DVD
players BUT you do not know it's internal detail that is, you do not know how it receives signals
over the air or through a cable, how it translates them, and finally displays them on the screen.
Thus we can say, a television clearly separates its internal implementation from its external
interface and you can play with its interfaces like the power button, channel changer, and volume
control without having zero knowledge of its internals. Now if we talk in terms of C++
Programming, C++ classes provides great level of data abstraction. They provide sufficient public
methods to the outside world to play with the functionality of the object and to manipulate object
data ie. state without actually knowing how class has been implemented internally. Abstraction is
the process of recognizing and focusing on important characteristics of a situation or object and
leaving/filtering out the un-wanted characteristics of that situation or object. So, you see that
Abstraction is the basis for software development. It’s through abstraction we define the essential
aspects of a system. The process of identifying the abstractions for a given system is called as
Modeling (or object modeling). So, we see that abstraction is the basis for object oriented
programming. Abstraction serves as the foundation for determining the classes for a particular
system (which is called object model). But be advised, there is no acid test to decide if the
abstraction for a given system is right or wrong. A "person" abstraction for a hospital information
system would be different from a person abstraction for a library information system and even
with hospital information system, person abstraction may be different for different projects. Once
you have abstracted an object, it can be re-used. It can be modified to suit other situations. As a
child you learnt Tri-cycle. You used the experience of learning tri-cycle (handle bar control,
pedaling) to learn bicycling. What actually you do to learn bicycling is that you only learn to
balance the bicycle while you use the experience of tricycle to use handlebar and pedaling. The
same case applies to abstraction as well. Though abstraction seems to be a simple concept, it’s a
challenging task. The reasons are
1. There are un-limited numbers of possibilities to define an abstraction for a situation.
2. As mentioned earlier, there is no acid test to determine if the abstraction is right or wrong.
You end up discussing, arguing with your counterpart that yours is best and his is worst…. He
does the same thing…
However, these problems are always addressed as you gain experience (which you can gain by
reading more books/articles and doing real time projects) in defining the abstraction. Abstraction
by itself is a huge and an interesting concept. But, we feel that most of the people, who define
4. EXAMPLE – HOW TO ABSTRACT DATA
It is an important step to abstract data. Data is abstracted from the steps involved in describing the
behavior. Use case is made up of such steps. In each step of event we abstract data. An example is
shown as below.
4. 70 Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT)
Table 1. Data Abstraction Example
Activity- “ Open the door”
Behavioral Steps
Walk till the door
Catch the knob of the door
Swing the knob clockwise
Push the door
Data Abstraction
Distance - meters
Force value - Kilograms
Angle of swing in degrees
Direction of swing
Door Size – meter x meter
Force of Push - kilograms
The above example gives the details of the data abstraction for a simple task- ‘open the door’ in
real life. The steps involved can be seen as the actions performed to fulfill a use case named-
Open the Door. The right column depicts the data to be abstracted. First of all to reach the door
one has to walk some distance- distance walked is the data associated with this step. Further when
the person reaches the door he catches the knob of the door. In order to catch the knob one needs
some force to be applied on the door.
5. CASE STUDY INVESTIGATIONS – E-RETAIL SYSTEM
Unified process and UML have special representations for use cases and actors. A simple ellipse
represents use cases; simple stick figures, actors. A use case diagram expresses the system's use
cases in relation to the actors that invoke them. We prefer to construct these diagrams with an
adornment that draws a boundary around the system, placing the use cases within the boundary
and the actors outside Figure 1 as shown below. This notation is convenient when multiple
systems are being jointly developed, and it can be clearly seen which use cases are part of which
system. The complete collection of use cases, actors, and diagrams forms a use case model,
which, like individual use cases, is just one part of the system's requirements specification.
Fig. 1. Use Case Model for E-Retail System
5. Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) 71
Relationships between actors and use cases indicate that the actor can invoke a particular use
case. Figure 8-4 shows that the actor can browse the catalog or check on the order status. This
diagram also identifies two other actors: the Merchant Account System and the Shipping
Department. These actors are in fact not individuals but rather external systems, or more
accurately the APIs of those external systems. When the Process Payment use case is invoked, it
initiates the dialogue between the Merchant Account System and this system; similarly, the Ship
Order use case contacts the Shipping Department's system when invoked. Relationships between
use cases are also documented in the model and appear in a diagram as a stereotyped dependency
relationship, or arrow-headed dashed line. The two major types of relationships between use
cases are «includes» and «extends». Both indicate a dependency on one use case by the other;
however, the subtle difference between the two has, in my experience, caused a significant degree
of confusion. In Figure 1, the use case Checkout extends the use case Browse Catalog. This
means that the actor invoking the use case might decide to extend the dialogue with the system to
include the activities described in the Checkout use case. The key word here is "might." Every
invocation of the Browse Catalog use case does not necessarily include checking out. The
relationships between the Checkout use case and the Process Payment and Ship Order use cases,
however, are expected with every invocation of the Checkout use case. The «includes»
relationship indicates that each invocation of the Checkout use case will invoke the included use
cases at least once. This type of a relationship can be thought of as calling a subroutine. The use
case model shows the structural relationships between use cases but does not show dynamic
relationships, or workflows. Dynamic behaviors are expressed with interaction diagrams:
sequence, collaboration, and activity. It is important to keep that in mind when drawing use case
diagrams. It's easy to start constructing use case diagrams as if they were workflow diagrams,
since use case names often reflect major activities of the business workflow. Most associations
between use cases in a diagram simply imply that one invokes the other, nothing more. There's
more to the use case model than this high-level diagram. Some analysts recently have begun to
create a single activity diagram for each use case in the system. This activity diagram helps me
sort out all the alternative flows in a use case and ensure that we haven't forgotten how any of
them rejoins the basic flow. In the past, we drafted a few use cases in which later iterations added
alternative flows that seemed reasonable and addressed the issue at the time, but when it came to
implementing them, it wasn't clear in what state those alternative flows would leave the system
and at what point the normal flow of the use case scenario should resume. Properly created
activity diagrams for a use case clearly identify all alternative paths as branches and even allow
us to see the effects of repetition, or loops, in the flow that would otherwise be mentioned only in
the text of the use case specification. Figure 2, the activities for the Browse Catalog use case,
shows a typical activity diagram for a use case that has some repetition. It is clear from this
diagram that there is one main loop structure, labeled the Shop controller. Many of the branches
are guarded with conditions—text between the brackets—and indicate the availability of an
option that the actor can invoke. As a notational convention, we can add notes to the activity
diagram at those points where the use case is extended or included. If the modeling tool you use
supports the inclusion of hyperlinks to other diagrams, it is highly recommended, hyperlinking
these notes to the relevant activity diagram to make it easier for the reader to follow the flow
through all the related use cases. The activity diagram of a use case clarifies the nature of the
«includes» or «extends» relationships. In the case of an «extended» relationship, it should be
possible for the actor to get from the start activity to an end activity without invoking the
extended use case. Figure 2 demonstrates that it is possible for the actor to follow a path from
start to finish without hitting the Request Checkout activity and thus invoking the Checkout use
case.

6. INTRODUCING FORMALISM
We have suggested and investigated that Object Constraint Language (OCL) is very helpful to
gain accuracy and perfection. The Object Constraint Language is a declarative language for
describing rules that apply to Unified Modeling Language models developed at IBM and now
part of the UML standard. Initially, OCL was only a formal specification language extension to
UML. OCL may now be used with any Meta-Object Facility (MOF) Object Management Group
(OMG) meta-model, including UML. As an example, we have modeled a computer system for a
fictional company called Royal and Loyal (R&L). R&L handles loyalty programs for companies
that offer their customers various kinds of bonuses. Often, the extras take
Fig. 2. The figure shows the activity diagram for Browse Catalog Use Case
7. Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) 73
the form of bonus points or air miles, but other bonuses are possible as well: reduced rates, a
larger rental car for the same price as a standard rental car, extra or better service on an airline,
and so on. Anything a company is willing to offer can be a service rendered in a loyalty program.
The central class in the model is LoyaltyProgram. A system that administers a single loyalty
program will contain only one instance of this class. In the case of R&L, many instances of this
class will be present in the system. A company that offers its customers membership in a loyalty
program is called a ProgramPartner. More than one company can enter the same program. In that
case, customers who enter the loyalty program can profit from services rendered by any of the
participating companies. Every customer of a program partner can enter the loyalty program by
filling in a form and obtaining a membership card. The objects of class Customer represent the
persons who have entered the program. The membership card, represented by the class
CustomerCard, is issued to one person. Card use is not checked, so a single card could be used for
an entire family or business. Most loyalty programs allow customers to save bonus points. Each
individual program partner decides when and how many bonus points are allotted for a certain
purchase. Saved bonus points can be used to "buy'' specific services from one of the program
partners. To account for the bonus points that are saved by a customer, every membership can be
associated with a LoyaltyAccount.
Various transactions on this account are possible. For example, the loyalty program "Silver and
Gold" has four program partners: a supermarket, a line of gas stations, a car rental service, and an
airline.
• At the supermarket, the customer can use bonus points to purchase items. The customer
earns five bonus points for any regular purchase over the amount of $25.
• The gas stations offer a discount of 5 percent on every purchase.
• The car rental service offers 20 bonus points for every $100 spent.
• Customers can save bonus points for free flights with the airline company. For every
flight that is paid for normally, the airline offers one bonus point for each 15 miles of
flight.
In this situation, there are two types of transactions. First, there are transactions in which the
customer obtains bonus points. In the model, these transactions are represented by a subclass of
Transaction called Earning. Second, there are transactions in which the customer spends bonus
points. In the model, they are represented by instances of the Burning subclass of Transaction.
The gas stations offer simple discounts but do not offer or accept bonus points. Because the
turnover generated by the customers need to be recorded, this is entered as two simultaneous
transactions on the LoyaltyAccount, one Earning and one Burning for the same number of points.
Customers in the Silver and Gold program who make extensive use of the membership are
rewarded with a higher level of service: the gold card. In addition to the regular services,
customers who have a gold card are also offered the following additional services:
• Every two months, the supermarket offers an item that is completely free. The average
value of the item is $25.
• The gas stations offer a discount of 10 percent on every purchase.
• The car rental service offers a larger car for the same price.
• The airline offers its gold card customers a business class seat for the economy class
price.
Customers must meet at least one of the following conditions to get a gold card:
8. 74 Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT)
• Three sequential years of membership with an average annual turnover of $5,000
• One year of membership with a turnover of $15,000, where the turnover is the total
turnover with all program partners
To administer different levels of service, the class ServiceLevel is introduced in the model. A
service level is defined by the loyalty program and used for each membership.
R&L advertises the program and its conditions. It manages all customer data and transactions on
the loyalty accounts. For this purpose, the program partners must inform R&L of all transactions
on loyalty program membership cards. Each year, R&L sends new membership cards to all
customers. When appropriate, R&L upgrades a membership card to a gold card. In this case,
R&L sends the customer a new gold card along with information about the additional services
offered, and R&L invalidates the old membership card.
The customer can withdraw from the program by sending a withdrawal form to R&L. Any
remaining bonus points are canceled and the card is invalidated. R&L can invalidate a
membership when the customer has not used the membership card for a certain period. For the
Silver and Gold program, this period is one year. Initial values and derivation rules will be as
follows.
context LoyaltyAccount::points
init: 0
context CustomerCard::valid
init: true
context CustomerCard::printedName
derive: owner.title.concat(' ').concat(owner.name)
In this case, the refined query operation can be specified as follows:
context LoyaltyProgram::getServices(pp: ProgramPartner)
: Set(Service)
body: if partners->includes(pp)
then pp.deliveredServices
else Set
endif
7. SUMMARY
We see that there is great importance of data abstraction in early stages of life cycle. The process
involves identifying use cases and then after finding out actors and use cases, we describe the
events performed by the system and the actor. This is called the flow of events required to
complete a uses case basic flow or any other use case scenario. Inside the flow of events, there is
hidden data. Actually in these set of flow of events we expect behavior performed by the
interaction of actor and the system. Behavior is the key to find out or abstract data. Now in order
to find out data we carefully understand the flow of event step by step and abstract data.
Formalization contributes to the accurateness of the data abstraction. We have examined and
explored object constraint language to perform improved data abstraction during analysis &

design in unified paradigm. In this paper we have presented our research regarding early stage
data abstraction and its formalization.
