1 User Performance Utilities for System Architect UML Profile for System Architect Meta-modelling and SAMetaMate User Properties Generation software by romindi

2 Attributes definition "Attributed" chapter "New Tab property "Simple Text No Type Specified" edit text length 256 property "Text Prop With Length" edit Text length 16 property "Number Property" edit Numeric length 4 property "List Property" edit text list "List of Values" length 64 2 software by romindi

3 Simple Of Relationships definition "Definition A" property "Uses Definition B" edit oneof "Definition B" required property "Comprises Definition B" edit oneof "Definition B" relate by "comprises" property "Property for B" edit listof "Definition B" relate by "address" 3 software by romindi

4 Complete Of Relationships Allows specification of child objects as belonging to and to be deleted with its parent object. Is equivalent to and represented by the UML composite aggregation relationship. definition "Owning Definition" property "Comprises Owned Definitions" edit complete listof "Owned Definition" keyed by "Is Part Of Owning Definitions" : name, Name relate by "comprises" definition "Owned Definition" property "Is Part Of Owning Definition" key edit oneof "Owning Definition" relate by "is part of" 4 software by romindi

5 Heterogeneous Allows objects of type Referred to A and B to be populated in the same property on an object of type Referrer. definition "Referrer" property "Comprises Hetero Property" edit heterogeneouslistof "Referred to A", "Referred To B" relate by "comprises" 5 software by romindi

6 Mirrors Include <<mirror>> in the name of the association. Gets around constraint that associations don t have a stereotype property. definition "B property "Is Part Of A" edit listof "A" relate by "is part of mirrors " Comprises B" definition "A property " Comprises B" edit listof "B" relate by " comprises mirrors "Is Part Of A" 6 software by romindi

7 Diagrams Allows a definition of type A to be modelled on a diagram. rename diagram "user 1" to "Diagram assign "user 1" to "Diagram" rename symbol "user 1" to "Symbol A symbol "Symbol A" in "Diagram" defined by A 7 software by romindi

8 Matrix with Intersection definition definition "Intersection" property "When Property" edit text length 256 chapter "Matrix property "ColumnDEFINITION" key edit oneof "Column Object" relate by "is part of" label "Contains Column Object" property "RowDEFINITION" key edit oneof "Row Object" relate by "is part of" label "Contained By Row Object" property "Intersection?" edit boolean readonly default "F" definition "Column Object" property "Contained By Row Object" edit listof "Row Object relate by "contained by" definition "Row Object" property "Contains Column Object" edit listof "Column Object relate by "contains" 8 software by romindi

9 Keyed Relationship Properties The stereotype of the roles must be set to key. definition Parent Eg Entity" property "Parent Model" key edit oneof "Anothers Grand Parent Eg Model" relate by "is keyed by" required definition Definition Eg Attribute" property "Parent Entity" key edit oneof "Anothers Parent Eg Entity" keyed by "Parent Model" : Grandparent Model", Name relate by "is keyed by" required property "Grandparent Model" key edit oneof "Anothers Grand Parent Eg Model relate by "is keyed by" required definition Definition Referrer" property "Attributes" edit listof "Another Definition Eg Attribute" keyed by Parent Entity" qualifiable, "Grandparent Model" qualifiable, Name relate by "references" 9 software by romindi

10 Representational Consistency Nodes Allows a definition of either Base, Sub Type One or Sub Type Two to be represented by a symbol of type Base Class. assign "user 1" to " RI Diagram " rename symbol "user 1" to " Base Class symbol "Base Class" in "RI Diagram represents node "Base Class" and_subtypes 10 software by romindi

11 Representational Consistency Implicit Relationships Populates the Sub Type Two property on Sub Type One when a Sub Type One relationship is drawn from a Sub Type One symbol to a Sub Type Two symbol assign "user 1" to " RI Diagram " rename symbol "user 1" to " Sub Type One symbol "Sub Type One" in "RI Diagram represents implicit relationship "Sub Type One"."Sub Type Two depict like "Generic Line 11 software by romindi

12 Representational Consistency Explicit Relationships Can create an Explicit Relationship definition from either 1. Base to Base, 2. Base to Sub Type One, 3. Base to Sub Type Two or 4. Sub Type One to Sub Type Two and visa versa. definition "Explicit Relationship property "To Base Class" edit heterogeneousoneof "Base Class required and_subtypes property "From Base Class" edit heterogeneousoneof "Base Class" required and_subtypes symbol "Explicit Relationship" in "RI Diagram represents explicit relationship "Explicit Relationship" depict like "Generic Line 12 software by romindi
