Requirements What are the problems, needs and wishes of clients
and users?
What are the objectives and scope of the proposed
system?
What are the major risks involved?
List of requirements that can be used as
a starting point for development.
List of problem areas that fall within
the scope of the proposed system.
Assessment of risk factors.
Analysis What does the system look like from the clients’ and
users’ perspective?
A set of models, each taking a different
view of the system, which
together give a complete picture.
The models may be text, diagrams
or early prototypes.
Design How can the system be constructed, so as to satisfy
the requirements?
Models from the analysis stage, refined
to illustrate the underlying
architecture of the system. These
models take account of
technological considerations and
constraints arising from the
implementation environment.
Implementation How can the models produced be translated into
code?
A fully tested suite of programs.
Installation What is needed to support clients and users and
ensure that they can use the new system
effectively?
User manual, technical documentation,
user training.

Modelling
Modelling
To capture thewhole of a system we
need to view it from different aspects
Each diagram provides some but not
all of the information – abstraction
Each model is an abstraction of the
complete system
System is broken down into small
workable chunks - decomposition

Model View of the system
Use case How the system interacts with its users.
Class The data elements in the system and the relationships
between them.
Interaction (sequence and
collaboration)
How a use case affects all the objects that are involved in it.
State How the different objects of a single class behave through
all the use cases in which the class in involved.
Activity The sequence of activities that make up a process.
Component The different components of the system and the
dependencies between them.
Deployment The software and hardware elements of the system and the
physical relationships between them.

UML and Blueprints
UMLand Blueprints
The UML provides a standard way to write a
system’s “blueprints” to account for
conceptual things (business processes,
system functions)
concrete things (C++/Java classes, database
schemas, reusable software components)
32.
In UML, wehave a state diagram for
dynamic behavior. The state diagram
shows:
-State
-Transition
-Event
-Condition
-Action

Construct Description Syntax
classa description of a set of objects
that share the same attributes,
operations, methods, relationships
and semantics.
interface a named set of operations that
characterize the behavior of an
element.
component a modular, replaceable and
significant part of a system that
packages implementation and
exposes a set of interfaces.
node a run-time physical object that
represents a computational
resource.

associationa relationship between two or more
classifiers that involves connections
among their instances.
aggregation A special form of association that
specifies a whole-part relationship
between the aggregate (whole) and
the component part.
generalization a taxonomic relationship between a
more general and a more specific
element.
dependency a relationship between two modeling
elements, in which a change to one
modeling element (the independent
element) will affect the other modeling
element (the dependent element).

Realization relationship connects a model element such as a class, to
another model element, such as an interface that supplies its
behavioral specification but not its structure or implementation. The
client must support ( by inheritance or by direct declaration) at least
all the operations that the supplier has.

HW1: due dateone week from today:
Model the following using a class diagram:
Your company writes student and course data management software for universities.
You are writing a data management package for a university with several campuses.
Employees in the administration office of each campus has to enter several student
and class input parameters; these will be stored in a central database in the main
campus. CORBA has been chosen to send this data. There will be two kinds of data:
per student data, and per course data.
For each student, the administration employee will enter a social security number, a
3 line home address, and the current semester’s grades (the student will have taken at
least one class, and no more than 5 classes). If the student is also a university
employee, the administration employee will enter the student’s salary.
For each course, the administration employee will enter the instructor’s name, the
time of day the course meets, the days of the week the course meets, the date and time
of the final exam, and the number of hours of the course. The administration
employee will also enter a student name and social security number for each student
in the course.
The central database software will provide values in return. For each student, the
student’s new GPA (based on existing plus new classes) will be returned, along with
total number of courses the student has taken at the university. For each course, the
central database software will provide the total number of courses the instructor is
teaching this semester. If the final exam time entered does not match that stored in
the central database, then the final exam time variable will be corrected

Editor's Notes
#26 In building a visual model of a system, many different diagrams are needed to represent different views of the system. The UML provides a rich notation for visualizing our models. This includes the following key diagrams:
Use Case diagrams to illustrate user interactions with the system.
Class diagrams to illustrate logical structure.
Object diagrams to illustrate objects and links.
State diagrams to illustrate behavior.
Component diagrams to illustrate physical structure of the software.
Deployment diagrams to show the mapping of software to hardware configurations.
Interaction diagrams (i.e., collaboration and sequence diagrams) to illustrate behavior.
Activity diagrams to illustrate the flow of events in a use case.
#27 Reasons UML does not define a process:
To increase the likelihood of widespread acceptance of a standard modeling notation without having to commit to a standard process.
There is a significant variability in what constitutes an appropriate process, depending on staff skills, research-development ration, nature of the problem, tools, and so-on.
