Deployment Diagrams

2005-02-01T09:55:00.000-05:00

Models the runtime requirements of the system, memory requirements for the system or other devices the system requires during execution. Shows the connections with one another and what each component contains.

Component Diagrams

2005-02-01T09:54:00.000-05:00

Models the artifacts and components or resources and packages that make up the system

Collaboration Diagrams

2005-02-01T09:47:00.000-05:00

Models the interactions among objects in a system with an emphasis on what interactions occur.

Activity Diagrams

2005-02-01T09:37:00.000-05:00

A flowchart that models the actions an object will perform and in what order.

Sequence Diagram

2005-02-01T09:34:00.000-05:00

Model the interactions among objects in a system including the actions a user performs in the system. Shows the time-based dynamics of the interaction.

State Diagrams

2005-02-01T09:31:00.000-05:00

Models an objects change of state at any given time. Objects behave differently at different points in time.

Object Diagrams

2005-02-01T08:50:00.000-05:00

Model a "snapshot" of the system by modeling a system's objects and their relationships at a specific point in time.

Class Diagrams

2005-02-01T08:47:00.000-05:00

Provide representations of the world that developers can work from. They help with the analysis of a subject to reveal important details about the problems that need to be solved.

Use Case Diagrams

2005-02-01T08:45:00.000-05:00

A description of a system's behavior from a user's view. Used to gather system requirements from the user.

Realizations

2005-02-01T08:25:00.000-05:00

A way that UML expresses the relationship between a class and an interface

Interfaces

2005-02-01T08:24:00.000-05:00

A type that specifies one or more methods or behaviors; must be declared in a class.

Contexts

2005-02-01T08:23:00.000-05:00

Show classes of a system in a way that makes clear their relationship to other classes and to the system as a whole.

Composites

2005-02-01T08:10:00.000-05:00

A relationship between an aggregate object and its component objects

Aggregations

2005-02-01T08:09:00.000-05:00

An assoociation among objects that make up a larger unit such as the components of a computer.

Generalization

2005-02-01T08:06:00.000-05:00

A relationship specified by UML to model inheritance

Inheritance

2005-02-01T08:04:00.001-05:00

Objects inherit the attributes and operations of the class it is in and also from other classes.

Reflexive Association

2005-02-01T08:04:00.000-05:00

Occurs when a class is in an association with itself

Qualified Association

2005-02-01T08:02:00.000-05:00

Occurs when association's multiplicity is one-to-many which leads to look-ups. Object from one class has to choose an object of another class in order to fulfill role is association.

Multiplicity

2005-01-31T16:04:00.000-05:00

Tells the number of objects in one class that relate to a single object of an associated class.

Association

2005-01-31T16:02:00.000-05:00

A relationship between classes. A class can be associated with more than one other class.

Encapsulation

2005-01-31T15:58:00.000-05:00

Enables objects to hide their implementation from other objects which is also called information hiding.

Polymorphism

2005-01-31T15:54:00.000-05:00

Enables us "to program in general" rather than "program in the specific." It is possible to design and implement systems that are easily extensible.

Inheritance

2005-01-31T15:49:00.000-05:00

A form of software reuse in which classes are created by absorbing an existing class's data and methods and embellishing them with new or modified capabilities.

Terms to Define

2005-01-31T01:43:00.000-05:00

1. Abstraction-already done
2. Inhertiance
3. Polymorphism
4. Encapsulation
5. Association
6. Multiplicity
7. Qualified Association
8. Reflexive Association
9. Inheritance & Generalization
10. Aggregations

16. Object Diagrams
17. State Diagrams

22. Deployment Diagrams

Abstraction

2005-01-25T20:33:00.000-05:00

Focusing on the commonalities among objects in the system, rather than on the special cases.

2005-01-24T21:59:00.000-05:00

This is pretty neat.

I am trying to get all of these applications to work together.

I will post a picture of my babies later.
