The SDL-UML Profile Revisited

摘要

The ITU-T has published the most recent version of a UML profile for the combined use of the Specification and Description Language (SDL) and the Unified Modelling Language (UML) in the year 2007. This SDL-UML profile encompases the specification of structural and behavioral aspects of a SDL system in terms of a UML model. In this paper, limitations of the models for data type and value specification of the current SDL-UML profile are analyzed. On this foundation, new models for both aspects are proposed in order to remedy the analysed limitations in an upcoming version of a UML profile for SDL-2010.
