A Critical Look upon UML 1.0

  • Conference paper
The Unified Modeling Language

Abstract

The Unified Modeling Language consists of a set of mostly graphical description techniques for the specification, modeling, and documentation of object-oriented systems. Based on the experience gained in using UML 1.0 for the development of a medium-sized, distributed Java program, we comment on its strengths and weaknesses. Furthermore, some proposals for extensions and changes are made.
