Can someone help me understand how best to model a composition relationship? If for instance I have a student whom can have many schedules, I would create roughly: class Student { prop long Pk { get; set; } prop string Name { get; set; } prop List<Schedule> Schedules { get; set; } } class Schedule { prop string Semester { get;...

I started working with C# recently and I noticed that the convention seems to be that the variables start with a capital letter along with the methods. Is this the only language that does this and why? For instance: Page Page = new Page(); Page.Action(); In other languages, you'd see instead: Page page = new Page(); page.action(); ...

Hi Folks, I am working on extending a small application that uses the 'dot' tool to draw UML class and state diagrams, to implement component diagrams (I am running into a lot of problems accommodating the UML 2.x notation for the same). I intend to display the interfaces that a particular component requires and provides through the ...
I am evaluating a tool which says that it supports UML 2.2. However if I search on internet, I can't find what incremental change has occured between two version. And yes, I tried to go through OMG documents, but those are too dense to read. Is there a simple explanation anywhere? ...

I have a problem, which I believe to be best solved through a functional style of programming. Coming from a very imperative background, I am used to program design involving class diagrams/descriptions, communication diagrams, state diagrams etc. These diagrams however, all imply, or are used to describe, the state of a system and the ...

I'm confused about the difference between something being a "stereotype" and being a "superclass" in UML. Let's say I want to create a diagram involving a "WidgetMaker." WidgetMaker is clearly an Actor so the UML standard is to stereotype it actor: <<Actor>> WidgetMaker But I grew up programming in the Java/Ruby/C++ world. In that ...

Alright, on a true false question: a)The actors of a system are only represented by humans or another software components. I said TRUE, and the teacher marked it as wrong, not because he considered that I missed hardware components (which I guess I would partially concede), but because, on his words: "TIME is also an actor." How wou...

I'm drawing some UML in which a concrete class inherits from an abstract class which defines a pure virtual method. Is it required to show this method in the concrete class as well? It's implied by inheriting from the abstract class. ...
Let's say you want to diagram a Map class (the mathematical kind, not the cartographic kind). In Ruby, you might have something like: class Map attr_accessor :nodes, :edges def initialize @nodes = Set.new @edges = Set.new end def minimum_spanning_tree(&mst_algorithm) mst_algorithm.call(@nodes, @edges) end ... en...
In the past I've used Doxygen for C and C++, but now I've been thrown on Fortran project and I would like to get a quick all encompassing look at the architecture. In the past I've found reverse engineering tools to be useful where no documentation of the architecture exists. So, is there a tool out there that will reverse engineer Fo...
