UML Semantics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

With an up-to-date view of the results of UML semantics and the practical applications of semantics development, this book presents the only coherent and integrated account of the leading UML 2 semantics work and its applications. With contributions from renowned experts in the area of UML 2 semantics and its applications, the book covers semantics of UML 2 diagrams, OCL, state machine diagrams, interactions, use cases, and activities. UML Semantics and Applications is an excellent reference for researchers and students in the model-driven development community.
