  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 6002))

Abstract

This paper summarizes the experience of teaching object-oriented modeling and UML for more than a decade to various audiences (academic or corporate, software developers or not). We present the characteristics of the audiences. We investigate which modeling concepts are well accepted and which are not. We identify several general problems: attendee background, object-oriented language as a prerequisite, limitations of tools, methodological issues, impact of company organizations. We propose (partial) solutions and a list of pragmatic advices.
