Hi, my name is Michael and i am interested in eUML in general. I was wondering if anyone has ever built a complete and productive database driven business app....
Responding to Mowers... ... My spin on this is a variation of my previous argument. Yes, the class needs a Color attribute -- if that is necessary to solving...
Responding to Pa4aj... ... I don't know of any offhand. Translation grew up in R-T/E and the vast majority of the customer base for existing tool vendors is...
Responding to Mowers... ... It was never my intent to even remotely imply that there is no place of OO development in IT. In fact, in past posts I have noted...
... Sorry to be "picking nits" here, Mark, but I think this statement needs some expansion. My concern is with it being read as the modeling affecting the...
... code ... modeling ... Yes. By "done well," I meant the basics of complete and correct: the application models "compile" according to the rules of...

... in response to all who have contributed to this thread: First of all I would like to thank you for your replies. In order to explain my interest in eUML...
... This is true. A thorough analysis, such as what Executable UML prescribes, leaves you with a lot better understanding of the domain under analysis. When I...
Responding to Pa4aj... ... The sooner the better. MDA tools for both translation and round-tripping are showing up every couple of weeks. There is a lot of ...
... Could you elaborate on this? Obviously the generated code can be treated like object files in a hand-coded system and only need to CM them on a formal...
NOTE: This is a semi-followup to a discussion on the mda-discussion group. A spliced state model is one that exists, for example, partly in a superclass and...
... I usually don't bother with a parent class, but instead rely on flexible tools to allow me to create "superstates" within a class diagram. This is possible...
Responding to Marco... ... The models clearly need to be CMed because they represent to original sources. If there were any changes to the transformation...
Responding to Riemenschneider... ... My recollection of that discussion was that Sally Shlaer stepped in just before it got to the point of death threats and...
... just ... I would actually term this as: " "splicing" referred only to the interpretive work the translation engine had to do to construct the individual...
... This isn't really the same as a spliced state model, because a spliced state model is executing generic behavior in the superclass state model, not...
Responding to Riemenschneider... ... OK. ... Right. That view led to the debate to begin with -- the notion that somehow a superclass state machine had its...
... OK. I was equating behavior to interface. Bad terminology on my part, but I'll explain below. ... This isn't the real problem, because the same events...

Responding to Riemenschneider... ... OK, but I responding to the notion that splicing was useful by saying that the splicing notation ambiguity was a problem...
Responding to Riemenschneider... ... Note "...in the first example". In your first example you had a single instance already in hand and navigated down the...
... Ah! The semantics of OO! ;-) Maybe we need to clarify whether we are talking about set instances, OOA instances, or OOPL instances, or what the rules are...
Responding to Riemenschneider... ... As you point out, there is a rational for defining the sets. But the syntax "create object instance" of c2 seems highly...
The concept of "assigner" is defined [pg 219] as "a state machine that serves as a single point of control for creating links on competitive associations"....
Responding to Ring... ... No. I believe it is best to think of critters like the Assigner as examples of a GoF Singleton design pattern where it is important...
