UML Workshop
This workshop is being organized by Dr Hilary Dexter and Professor Balbir Bran, and hosted by the CETIS Enterprise SIG. The meeting is fully booked, but we hope to re run it.
The meeting is being held at Manchester Conference Centre, in Manchester.
The conference centre can accommodate delegates at the Days Hotel.
Workshop Content
- Introduction to: conceptual modelling and visual modelling
- Finding a sufficient and intuitive modelling vocabulary (a subset of UML);
- Modelling in the e-Framework environment
- Domain and concept modelling for reference models that will serve all relevant communities of practice/
Learning Outcomes
Attain a basic understanding of:
- The concepts: System, Systems Analysis and Modelling
- Identification of UseCases and Actors
- Identification of candidate Classes and how to assign attributes
- Generalisation and specialisation in classification of things in a domain
- How to draw a workflow as an Activity Diagram
- Allocation of system responsibilities to components
- Assembly of components into services
- Service framework architecture
- Reference models as a means to (a) join things up (b) plan and specify software development.
The workshop participants will apply 5 key questions to a scenario and will create 4 UML Diagrams: UseCase, Class, Activity and Component.
