Responding to McNeile... ... Yes. As an additional spin on Balcer's answer, I would add that this is true of OOA/D in general rather than just eUML or the...
... Actually, I've seen compromise solutions where data was fetched from remote methods through stateless message exchange. Special messages were defined to...
Responding to Bestler... ... True. But there are <at least> two valid reasons for such variances at the OOP level. One is that OOA/D represents an abstract...

I recently heard a presentation about executable UML in which the conclusion recommended against the use of the methodology and the assessed tool (the KC tool...
I owe the group a more detailed reply to this posting, in large part because I've encountered it in several distinct settings in the past few weeks...evidence...
Marc; Thanks for your feedback. Your opinion (as well as everyone else's) is greatly appreciated. The presentation in question was given by a systems engineer...
... I'm not going to comment on specific tools, but one assertion really leaps out at me: the implication that not supporting UML 2.0 is some sort of violation...
My two-cent's worth.. i. Lack of support for UML.2.0.. Firstly this isn't yet a standard (though will be soon), secondly the UML2.0 (and previous versions) are...
Responding to Jeffstewart5... ... I'll go further than Balcer and assert that the presenter doesn't seem to understand the difference between OOA and OOP at...

... Is Action Semantics (UML 1.5) considered a UML 2.0 or UML 1 feature? I'm kind of confused in this respect. ... There have always been some basic flaws with...
Action Semantics was added in 1.5. That is the only difference between 1.4 and 1.5. Action Semantics are retained in 2.0, but under the guise of an Activity. ...

What happens when you evaluate a set of tools and ideas based on solving a different problem? They come up short! The speaker is evaluting the tools based on...

Stephen, Can you give me some concrete examples for your statement: "UML 2.0 is a lot of things, but has signally failed to address the problem of building...
respectfully ... I've got to be honest, your reply sounded a bit ad hominem to me. How do you know the speaker was evaluating the tools based upon modeling...
... Stephen: What do you mean by "consistency" in UML. Is this single-view consistency such as you cannot have a cycle of inheritances? Or, do you mean...
Responding to Mowers... ... I will give 3:1 that the answers would be false and true, respectively. B-) To the extent that we always abstract only the...
(i) Not unnecessary but irrelevant. It's an implementation idea, not relevant to analysis. The speaker's comment is akin to saying he didn't like the...

I mean consistency between the diagrams. The UML spec focusses on defining the semantics of each diagram, but not how they fit together. A sequence diagram...

Stepen & H. S. Lahman, Thanks. I appreciate the dialog. I'm almost persuaded :-) What about the idea of using data encapsulation in analysis in order to model...
... My approach to this is very simple: - No object makes references that are not required. - All requirements are modeled in analysis. Therefore there is no...
