Abstract
The unified modeling language (UML) has been widely accepted as the standard object-oriented (OO) modeling language for modeling various aspects of software and information systems. The UML is an extensible language, in the sense that it provides mechanisms to introduce new elements for specific domains if necessary, such as database applications, business modeling, software development processes, data warehouses and so on. Furthermore, the latest version of UML 2.0 got even bigger and became more complicated with a larger number of diagrams, with some good reasons. Therefore, heuristics, design guidelines, and lessons learned from experiences are extremely important for the effective use of UML 2.0 and so to avoid unnecessary complication. Moreover, UML plays a central role in model transformations in the software development life-cycle, and therefore novel proposals on UML model transformations are also needed.
