In this paper we describe in details UML modeling of login procedure, which is a part of UserBarCodeReader application, developed for large stores and intended for use as a customer support during the shopping session. Login procedure is realized within access control system, in this case over a wireless network. Paper gives the whole modeling and implementation cycle of login procedure, from U...

Thin-client diagramming tools provide a number of advantages over traditional thick-client design tools but are challenging to build. We describe an extension to a thick-client meta-tool that allows any specified diagram editor to be realised as a thin-client tool. A set of serverside components interact with the thick-client tool to generate GIF or SVG diagrams for both display and editing in ...

Two types of issues were raised by Galperin, Nitzan, and Ratner (GRN). (1) The correct formal diagrammatic definition of the stimulated light emission (SLE) signal in terms of molecular correlation functions and the identification of the sub-set of diagrams that contribute to the Raman signal. (2) What approximations are used to actually compute these correlation functions in the presence of el...

This paper is focused on analysing the complete business environment with the help of information technology. It takes into account various interactions between different business processes while conducting BPR exercise. It also provides a framework based on event diagrams to record logical flow and other relevant details, which can be used for design of an information system. The event diagram...

Clarity is underappreciated as a requirements specification quality attribute. We studied the clarity of requirements forms, operationalized as ease of problem detection, least obstructive to understanding, and understandability by stakeholders. A set of use cases for an industrial system was translated into sequence diagrams and ScenarioML; problems identified during each translation were note...

The response behavior of the topology of various phase diagrams corresponding to different physicochemical systems has been studied. Our study relies on using the 2-D transverse field ising model and considering only distinct nearest neighbor pair-exchange interaction. We calculate phase diagrams in the polarization-temperature phase space with the aid of the Mathcad computer software. The theo...

Understanding diagrams and using them in problem solving requires extensive knowledge about the properties of diagrams, what diagram elements denote, how their parts are distinguished and referenced, how they relate to linguistic statements, and so forth. This knowledge is most naturally represented linguistically. Nonetheless, diagrams or imaginal representations of them are used in substantiv...

In this article I present and discuss some criteria to provide a diagrammatic classification. Such a classification is of use for exploring in detail the domain of diagrammatic reasoning. Diagrams can be classified in terms of the use we make of them static or dynamic and of the correspondence between their space and the space of the data they are intended to represent. The investigation is not...

Choreography diagrams have been introduced in the Business Process Model and Notation language 2.0 (BPMN 2.0), one among the most used languages for modelling and analyzing business processes in industry, in order to provide a view on the interaction between participants. Besides the intuitive definition of choreographies as interfaces among participants, the BPMN 2.0 specifications also define...

There are several kinds of UML diagrams for convenient modelling of behaviour, but these diagrams can be hardly used for modelling mobility. The situation is not very different in the case of agent languages. There exist already some proposals for modelling mobility of interacting agents by graphical notations, but these notations are rather not very intuitive and hard to read if the specificat...
