Advanced visual modeling (tutorial session)

摘要

The tutorial is example driven and illustrates how the new notations are combined with those of UML, including OCL. Some of the examples are drawn from industrial contexts, in particular the telecomms sector. Highlights include:

A crash critique of UML, stressing its weaknesses and strengths.

A rich visual constraint language and an insight into subtle issues that arise when defining a visual language.

Lots of examples, some taken from an industrial context.

A demonstration of a graphical editor (available free from the web and on disk at the tutorial) for the constraint-diagrams language.

A series of 3D notations for providing rich visualizations of dynamic behavior.

A vision for visual modeling tools of the future
