O autorze

Bernhard Rumpe teaches at the RWTH Aachen Excellence University the use of agile, model-based development on the basis of UML. His research interests include models, modeling languages, DSLs, as well as their construction, analytical and generative use in development of products. With a number of publications, he has contributed to the standardization of UML and to a better use within development processes. He is author and editor of 21 books and Editor-in-Chief of the international Springer Journal on Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM).

This book presents a variant of UML that is especially suitable for agile development of high-quality software. It adjusts the language UML profile, called UML/P, for optimal assistance for the design, implementation, and agile evolution to facilitate its use especially in agile, yet model based development methods for data intensive or control driven systems.

After a general introduction to UML and the choices made in the development of UML/P in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 includes a definition of the language elements of class diagrams and their forms of use as views and representations. Next, Chapter 3 introduces the design and semantic facets of the Object Constraint Language (OCL), which is conceptually improved and syntactically adjusted to Java for better comfort. Subsequently, Chapter 4 introduces object diagrams as an independent, exemplary notation in UML/P, and Chapter 5 offers a detailed introduction to UML/P Statecharts. Lastly, Chapter 6 presents a simplified form of sequence diagrams for exemplary descriptions of object interactions. For completeness, appendixes A–C describe the full syntax of UML/P, and appendix D explains a sample application from the E-commerce domain, which is used in all chapters.

This book is ideal for introductory courses for students and practitioners alike.
