Rendering UML Activity Diagrams as Human-Readable Text
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a modification of the Petri Net Linear Form notation to support the rendering of Unified Modeling Language (UML) Activity Diagrams as human-readable text. This new notation, called the Activity Diagram Linear Form, allows UML Activity Diagrams to be expressed in an alternate form with the superior accessibility, compatibility, and simplicity of use of a plain text representation. For some applications, these benefits greatly outweigh the æsthetical and pedagogical advantages of a visual representation.

Evaluating Visual Realism in Drawing Areas of Interest on UML Diagrams
Areas of interest (AOIs) are defined as an addition to UML diagrams: groups of elements of system architecture diagrams that share some common property. Some methods have been proposed to automatically draw AOIs on UML diagrams. However, it is not clear how users perceive the results of such methods as compared to human-drawn areas of interest. We present here a process of studying and improvin...
متن کاملJournal of Learning Design DESIGNING FOR EFFECTIVE LEARNING Visualization of Learning Scenarios with UML4LD
Present Educational Modelling Languages are used to formally specify abstract learning scenarios in a machine-interpretable format. Current tooling does not provide teachers/designers with some graphical facilities to help them in reusing existent scenarios. They need human-readable representations. This paper discusses the UML4LD experimental research work in relation to the graphical represen...
متن کاملThe Guido Engine A toolbox for music scores rendering
The Guido Music Notation format (GMN) is a general purpose formal language for representing score level music in a platform independent plain text and human readable way. Based on this music representation format, the GuidoLib provides a generic, portable library and API for the graphical rendering of musical scores. This paper gives an introduction to the music notation format and to the Guido...
متن کاملPotentially Polluting Marine Sites Geodb : an S-100 Geospatial Database as an Effective Contribution to the Protection of the Marine Environment
Resumen Potentially Polluting Marine Sites (PPMS) are objects on, or areas of, the seabed that may release pollution in the future. A rationale for, and design of, a geospatial database to inventory and manipulate PPMS is presented. Built as an S-100 Product Specification, it is specified through human-readable UML diagrams and implemented through machine-readable GML files, and includes auxili...
متن کاملTowards the Support for Crosscutting Concerns in Activity Diagrams: a Graphical Approach
The current proposal for activity diagrams in UML 2.0 allows for very complex graphs, reflecting the numerous interdependencies among the several actions and resources. This paper proposes a graphical composition operation supporting the addition of crosscutting requirements in activity diagrams through node fusion, addition, and subtraction. The operation has a highly readable and intuitive gr...
