language proﬁle UML/P explained in this book and the development tech-

niques based thereon are thus based on Java.

Bridge Between UML and Agile Methods: At the same time, both books

form an elegant link between the approaches of agile methods not yet inte-

grated optimally and the modeling language UML. Agile methods such as

Extreme Programming are equipped with a range of interesting techniques

and principles enriching the software engineering portfolio for certain types

of projects. Characteristics of these techniques include sparse use of docu-

mentation, concentration on ﬂexibility, optimization of time to market and,

minimization of necessary personnel resources together with concurrent re-

tention of the desired quality. Therefore, agile methods are well suited as a

foundation for the targets of this book.

Agile Methods Based on UML/P: UML is used as a notation for a num-

ber of activities such as use case modeling, target performance analysis, as

well as architectural and detailed design at different levels of granularity.

UML artifacts represent an essential foundation for planning and controlling

milestone-driven software engineering projects. Therefore, UML is mostly

implemented in plan-driven projects with relatively high documentation and

the inﬂexibility resulting from that. However, UML is more compact, seman-

tically more ample, and better suited to describe complex facts than a pro-

gramming language. That is why it has crucial advantages for modeling of

test cases and transformational evolution of software systems. Based on a

discussion of agile methods and the concepts contained therein, the second

book will outline an agile method which uses the UML/P language proﬁle

as a base for several activities without importing the inﬂexibility of typical

UML-based methods.

1.2 Overview

Chapter 2 includes a deﬁnition of the components of class diagrams, a dis-

cussion on the deployment of views and representations, and a proposal for

the deﬁnition of stereotypes and tags.

Chapter 3 introduces the design of the Object Constraint Language (OCL)

in all its semantic facets and syntactically adjusted to Java. For speciﬁcation

purposes, a two-valued logic is introduced and the expressiveness of OCL

discussed. Constructs for set comprehension, introduction of local functions,

and special OCL opera tors for ﬂattening of data structures and transitive

closure of an association are presented.

Chapter 4 contains the introduction of object diagrams as an independent

notation in UML/P. A bilateral integration of OCL and object diagrams per-

mits use of diagrams as OCL predicates and also the description of complex

constraints within a diagram through OCL. OCL logic operators are used to

describe unwelcome situations, alternatives, and the composition of object

diagrams.

single keywords are highlighted or underlined. For stereotypes, transforma-

tions, test patterns, and refactoring rules, a template is presented in Table

2.19, which allows for a systematic description of the element introduced.

The following additional characters are used in the text:

• Therepresentation indicators “...” and “



” are formal parts of UML/P

and d escribe whether the representation shown in a diagram is complete

or not.

• Stereotypes are given in the form



StereotypeName



. Tags have the form

{TagName=Value} or {TagName}.

• Nonterminals are shown as Name. We add the deﬁnition number of the

nonterminal, as in OCLConstraint

C.7

, when we use a nonterminal in

another section.

1.4.1 Importance and Scope of UML

Especially for developer communication, there are a number of advantages

of graphical notations compared with textual forms of expression. They en-

able the viewer to get a quick overview and simplify the perception of the

system’s parts and their relations. But due to their two-dimensional charac-

ter, graphical description methods also have disadvantages. They need, for

instance, considerably more space when shown or printed. This lower infor-

mation density easily leads to a lack of overview, especially with regard to

large models. Furthermore, precise deﬁnition of the syntax and semantics of

a graphical language is generally regarded to be more difﬁcult.

With the dominance of the object-oriented programming paradigm in al-

most every ﬁeld of software and system development, and systems becom-

ing increasingly complex, quite a number of object-oriented modeling ap-

proaches have been deﬁned.

The Uniﬁed Modeling Language (UML) [OMG10a] was successful in in-

tegrating different notations and, thus, became a standard modeling lan-

guage for software engineering. UML is now widely used. To allow this, the

separation of methodological considerations and the notations used within

methods was crucial. The aim of UML is to offer a modeling technique

for preferably all application domains in software engineering. Accordingly,

UML/P language proﬁle deﬁned in this book is partly methodically neu-

tral, although it is especially suited for generative projects with Java as tar-

get language. Similar approaches are shown in recent books working on

the relationship between UML and a programming language such as Java

[Lan09, Lan05].

With UML, integration of several existing modeling languages has been

achieved. Syntactic differences have been harmonized and concepts from dif-

6 1 Introduction

fering ﬁelds ha ve been integrated into the core language. Although this cre-

ated a rather large and partly overloaded language, it can be expected that

UML will claim to be the essential language standard for at least one more

decade.

1.4.2 UML Language Proﬁles

UML is no longer understood as a language deﬁned completely in all its syn-

tactic and semantic details but as a language framework or language family

[CKM

99, Gr¨o10, GRR10] which allows, due to extension mechanisms and

semantic variation possibilities, creation of language proﬁles that can be ad-

justed to the respective purpose of the application. Thus, UML has the char-

acteristic of a colloquial language such as English which also allows for ad-

justing the vocabulary in the form of technical language and dialects.

[OMG99] already deﬁned the essential requirements for UML proﬁle con-

cept, and [CKM

99] discussed how this affects the manifestation of business-

or project-speciﬁc language proﬁles.

[Gr¨o10, GRR10] reveal how the organization of syntactic and semantic

variations of a part of UML in the form of features and language conﬁgu-

rations can be shown and how it can be applied for the conﬁguration of a

language which suits the project.

Example language proﬁles include the specialization of UML to real-

time systems [OMG09], Enterprize Distributed Object Computing (EDOC)

[OMG04], multimedia applications [SE99b, SE99a], and frameworks [FPR01].

The [SE99b, SE99a], and frameworks [FPR01]. vocabulary is introduced di-

rectly into the model through the deﬁnition of classes, methods, attributes or

states. In addition, proﬁles offer lightweight extension capabilities for UML

syntax, such as the stereotypes and tags discussed in Fig. 2.17, and heavy-

weight extensions with new modeling constructs.

According to [ OMG99], the concept for deﬁning a UML proﬁle has,

among others, the following purposes:

• Precise deﬁnition of tags, stereotypes, and constraints is possible.

• Description of semantics using natural language is allowed.

• A more speciﬁc proﬁle can adjust a more general proﬁle to the desired

form.

• The combination of proﬁles allows for simultaneous use of multiple pro-

ﬁles.

• Mechanisms for managing the proﬁles’ compatibility are provided.

However, the goal of simple exchangeability and combinability of lan-

guage proﬁles cannot be fulﬁlled that easily. On the contrary, tool-based lan-

Common languages also allow for the imprint of new vocabulary through the def-

inition of terms. New modeling constructs would correspond to grammatical ex-

tensionbutarenotcommoninotherlanguages.
