Overview of UML
UML stands for Unified Modeling Language.

It is a standard language for specifying, visualizing, constructing,
and documenting the artifacts of software systems.
It was created by the Object Management Group (OMG).
UML 1.0 specification draft was proposed to the OMG in
January 1997.
UML is a pictorial language used to make software blueprints.
It is not a programming language but tools can be used to
generate code in various languages using UML diagrams.
Overview of UML
Goals of UML
To define some general purpose modeling language which is
simple to understand and use by all modelers.
A conceptual model is the first step before drawing a UML
diagram.
It helps to understand the entities in the real world and how they
interact with each other.
Three major elements
UML building blocks
Rules to connect the building blocks
Common mechanisms of UML
Building Blocks of UML
Things
Relationships
Diagrams
Building Blocks of UML - Things
They are the most important building blocks of UML. They can be
Structural
Behavioral
Grouping
Annotational
Structural things define the static part of the model.

They represent the physical and conceptual elements.
They include
Name Description Symbol
Class Represents a set of objects having similar responsibilities
Interface It defines a set of operations, which specify the responsibility of a class.
Collaboration It defines an interaction between elements.
Use case It represents a set of actions performed by a system for a specific goal.
Component Describes the physical part of a system.
Node It can be defined as a physical element that exists at run time.
Behavioral Things consist of the dynamic parts of UML

models.
They include
Interaction It is a behavior that consists of a group of messages exchanged among

elements to accomplish a specific task.
State machine It defines the sequence of states an object goes through in response to
events.
Grouping Things is a mechanism to group elements of a UML

model together.
They include
Package It is used for gathering structural and

behavioral things.
Annotational Things is a mechanism to capture remarks,

descriptions, and comments of UML model elements.
They include
Note It is used to render comments, con-

straints, etc. of an UML element.
Building Blocks of UML - Relationships
They show how the elements are associated with each other and this
association describes the functionality of an application.
The four kinds of Relationships
Dependency It is a relationship between two things in which change in one element

also affects the other.
Association It is a set of links that connects the elements of a UML model. It also
describes how many objects are taking part in that relationship.
Generalization It is a relationship which connects a specialized element with a gener-

alized element. It basically describes the inheritance relationship in the
world of objects.
Realization It is a relationship in which two elements are connected. One element
describes some responsibility, which is not implemented and the other
one implements them.
Architecture
Any real-world system is used by different users.

Before designing a system, the architecture is made with
different perspectives in mind.
Different perspectives of a system.
Design. It consists of classes, interfaces, and collaboration. UML provides class
diagram, object diagram to support this.
Implementation. It defines the components assembled together to make a
complete physical system. UML component diagram is used to support the
implementation perspective.
Process. It defines the flow of the system. The same elements as used in
Design are also used to support this perspective.
Deployment. It represents the physical nodes of the system that forms the
hardware. UML deployment diagram is used to support this perspective.
Modeling Types - Structural Modeling
It captures the static features of a system.

Classes diagrams
Objects diagrams
Deployment diagrams
Package diagrams
Composite structure diagram
Component diagram
It represents the framework for the system and this framework is
the place where all other components exist.
The class diagram, component diagram and deployment
diagrams are part of structural modeling.
Modeling Types - Behavioral Modeling
It describes the interaction in the system.

It represents the interaction among the structural diagrams.
Behavioral modeling shows the dynamic nature of the system.
Activity diagrams
Interaction diagrams
Use case diagrams
Modeling Types - Architectural Modeling
It represents the overall framework of the system.

It contains both structural and behavioral elements of the
system.
It can be defined as the blueprint of the entire system.
Package diagram comes under architectural modeling.
