UML Diagramming: A Case Study Approach

UML Diagramming: A Case Study Approach

The Unified Modeling Language, better known as UML, has become the de facto standard modeling language for analyzing and designing software applications and systems. Software analysis and design is just as much an art as it is a science. UML Diagramming: A Catalog of Cases shows the art and the science behind successful software analysis and design with more than 35 case studies of applications of a variety of industries, including:

• Transportation
• Healthcare
• Supply chain management
• Education
• Agriculture
• Manufacturing

The book explains UML diagramming through case studies to help systems and software developers specify, visualize, construct, and document the artifacts of software systems. The cases demonstrate how UML embodies software engineering best practices for modeling large and complex systems. They show how UML is an intuitive diagramming language that can be easily understood by end-users and business professionals. These cases studies also demonstrate how UML is a powerful language for communicating software designs to help developers and end users validate application scope, requirements, and features. Case studies highlighted in the book included:

• WEBMED healthcare service system services
• Inventory management system
• Business process outsourcing (BPO) management system
• Weather monitoring system
• Product recommendation system
• Textile management system
• Smart traffic management system
• Online pharmacy management system
• Placement automation system
• Farm management system
• Art gallery management system
• Website development

This catalog of UML case studies is an invaluable reference for students studying software engineering, programmers starting out their careers, and seasoned systems developers needing a reference guide.
