UML for Systems Engineering - (Computing and Networks) 2nd Edition by Jon Holt (Hardcover)

About the Book

The UML (Unified Modelling Language) has become the industry standard for modelling software-intensive systems. The book looks at applications using the UML as part of a generic approach to aid problem-solving and information modelling and covers the significant changes that have occurred since the release of UML version 2.

Book Synopsis

Up until a few years ago there were many different modelling languages available to software developers. However, this vast array of choice only served to hinder communication and as a result the Unified Modelling Language (UML) was born. Although the UML has its roots firmly in the software world, the benefits of adopting a standard visual notation have been recognised in many other fields, not least of which is the field of systems engineering. This book concentrates on systems-based applications, rather than the traditional software applications that are more usually associated with the UML. Now fully updated to reflect the changes to UML for its version 2.0 release, this new edition has been substantially re-written and includes new material on systems architectures and life cycle management.
