I am not very clear how xUML handle guards/conditions in state machines. Any advice is welcome. My understand about Mealy machine and Moore machine: The...
Hello summerzyy, ... That's not completely true. Executable UML tools can provide varying levels of support - some tools (including PathMATE) directly support...
... There are two ways (assuming "x" is dynamic up to the generation of the event) to do this depending on the visibility of "x". If "x" is visible to the...
Responding to Summerzyy... ... Generally eUML uses the Moore model because it is a better fit to OO encapsulation. That's because it removes any temptation to...
I'd like to ask a general sort of makert related question about executableUML or even MDA. Let me preface my question with some information about myself to let...
... in a ... state ... the ... This argument doesn't address the desired visibility of 'x' to the event generator. To say that 'x' should always be visible...
I should have summed up my email better. What's my point? It seems to me there is neither the tool support nor the practical project expertise to recommend...
Hello Anthony, ... I have to Disagree. Rather strongly and fundamentally. We've been using these methods and technology for over a decade now, on dozens of...
... The concepts of structured programming were applicable even using Fortran IV. You just had to apply them by hand, and then with RatFor, and finally with...
Responding to Mowers... ... I would disagree. MDA formalizes technologies that existed long before MDA, UML, or even OMG. Basically MDA just provides...
Responding to Riemenschneider... ... I don't see the visibility as relevant; the issue is what 'x' is (i.e., a state variable). My point is that state...
Chapter 10 is missing in some recently-printed paperback copies of the Executable UML book. The publisher will replace these bad copies. If you have purchased...
... transition ... to do ... It sounds to me like in your previous post, you were arguing that the event generator should know exactly what event should be...
But .... If we were talking about code generation then I might sign on for the comparison of MDA to a compiler or a high-level language. The comparison ...
Responding to Mowers... ... Fundamentally there are two distinct approaches to software development, regardless of A&D methodology. The traditional one is...
Responding to Riemenschneider... ... It's still a state variable, which is an entirely different view of 'state' than the one in an FSA. My position is that...
Is it possible for any company to develop executable UML / OAL model editors and compilers? Or does Accelerated Technology possess exclusive rights to the...
... I believe I understand what you are saying. I don't agree. Calling the modeling that some people do today a 'sloppy version of a model' just because it...
... Yes. ... Not at all. ... Currently there are a number of companies that have tools in the Executable UML space. Some are better than others--and I'll...
Responding to Mowers... ... Interesting analogy, but... ... It /is/ programming. It is just at the 4GL level rather than the 3GL level. The OOA model is a...
Responding to Jernejkmail... ... It depends on what one means by 'language'. The general translation technology has been in the public domain for nearly two...

I want to bring up a point which has sort of been bothering me for some time, and only now have i got to the point where I can state it more clearly: Suppose I...
... Your problem starts here. A CM domain does not deal with 'files'. A CM domain organises the subject matter of 'CM' (configuration items, baselines,...
... Maybe it would be better to look at it using different terms. Let's use Configuration Item (CI) instead of File in the CM domain. Now you have something...
Responding to Nedunuri... ... I think the main answer lies in the nature of bridges themselves. They represent highly disciplined, event-based interfaces....
Lee, Shane Thanks for your input. But I don't think that I got my question across very well. It doesn't matter what you call the configuration items - I just...
