To effectively use Unified Modeling Language when developing Java applications, developers must have a thorough understanding of the UML elements and how these elements map to Java.

Usually software designs are represented using UML diagrams (e.g., class diagrams). A software engineering team may create multiple versions of class diagrams satisfying some external constraints. In ...

We are not opposed to UML: there are certain things that a UML class diagram can render much clearer than the forms described above. Inheritance is one example: the DSFA application used inheritance ...

Some background on UML, Object-Z, Java and inheritance is provided, as well as short descriptions of the refinement process comprising data refinement, operation refinement and operation decomposition ...

This paper provides an example that illustrates parts of the software life cycle processes of specification, refinement and implementation for the use of inheritance in an object-oriented environment.
