The UML Profile for Framework Architectures provides a UML profile for object and component frameworks. It shows how to describe framework architectures and to support framework modeling and annotation by using UML-compliant extensions.
If you are a software developer, project manager, researcher or student interested in design patterns, framework technology or UML, this book is essential reading. It will enable you to:
* Understand the basic elements of the UML-F profile and to harness UML to support framework development more effectively.
* Define UML-F tags for domain-specific design patterns.
* Learn a real-world approach for framework design, development and adaptation, through practical hints and guidelines.
* Apply UML-F, illustrated by the sample framework JUnit and a framework for embedded control system.
