Two main forces drive the RFP's requirements: scalability and architecture. Changes made for architecture in UML 2.0 primarily involve the structural (class) model, while changes for scalability ...

This paper analyses a leading-edge Set-top Box (STB) design for architecture reference patterns. Specifically, the following contributions are made: (i) identifying and documenting (in UML) STB ...

However, with the arrival of a new generation of customizable UML tools based on the principles of model-driven architecture (MDA), we expect a major impact in this area, too.

For those folks who want to analyze and design their architecture using a standard notation that does not imply an implementation decision, use some UML diagrams.

I'm looking around for a good uml program that is actually quick (or even quicker) than drawing it out by hand and isn't a user design travesty like most of them are. So far the better one I have ...

FalconML initiates the design process at the UML specification level, something frequently done in software writing. It enables software/hardware partitioning and delivers an output compatible with ...

The Unified Modeling Language, widely used by software designers but little-known among their hardware counterparts, could be on its way to becoming a lingua franca for system-level modeling. But even ...
