How Does UML Apply to Real-Time?

How Do We Describe Structure Using UML?
What is an Object?
Object Identity, Views, Interface, Attributes,
Operations, Classes
UML Class, UML Object
Multiplicity

Object Discovery Strategies

Identify the Nouns
Services to be Performed
Physical Devices, Key Concepts
Transactions
Persistent Information
Control Elements

How Do We Describe Behavior?

Why Use State Machines?
State Machines Are Executable
States/Transitions/Actions
Basic State Machine Syntax
Types of Events, Time Event
Handling Transitions
Reaction in State
Transitions: Guards
Actions
States
State Machine Syntax — AND States
AND-State Communication
State Machine Syntax — Connectors
Timeouts Revisited
Inherited State Behavior

How Do We Model Communication Using UML?

Object Collaboration
Messages
Relationships
Associations, Multiplicity / Navigation, Aggregation, Composition, Structured Class Example, Template / Generic Classes, Dependencies, Generalization

Interfaces and Ports

Interfaces : Why do we need them?
Interfaces
Ball & Socket Notation
Ports

Getting along with UML and further references

Course Objectives:
· To show how to develop Application software in a rigorous and systematic manner using UML 2.x modeling techniques.
· To enable attendees to develop their own practical design skills.
· To show its capabilities for designing

Delegates will learn:
· How to develop practical designs for embedded systems using UML 2.x modeling techniques.
· How to apply these ideas in the framework of an integrated, traceable and consistent software design process.

Pre-requisites:
· Knowledge of the basics of OO design principles and methods.
· Some understanding of technical software development methods and some knowledge of a high-level programming language.

Who Should Attend:
· Ideal for engineers who have attended vendor tool training but now need to learn practical application of UML
· Designers looking to improve the way they apply UML
· Designers new to the area of real-time software design.
· Developers with notational UML knowledge who are embarking on projects using UML-based techniques for the first time.

Duration: Four days.

Course Workshop:
Approximately 50% of the course involves practical application of the techniques. Delegates work in small groups dealing with problems based on real scenario systems.
