But \u201cmodeling\u201d in the software community seems largely to mean simply drawing pictures, either to represent the problem domain or to blueprint a solution, without a precise enough meaning to fully specify the functionality of the system being developed. As a result, the UML standard,S up to and including UML 2.4.1, do not define the semantics of UML models at all precisely. <\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, there has also long been an interest in models that are more precise, even to the extent that they may be executed in their own right. It has taken a while for this viewpoint to penetrate into the mainstream of UML usage. But there has been in a great deal of work in recent years toward the standardization of the formal semantics of UML models \u2013 the \u201cmeaning\u201d behind the pictures: the Foundational UML (fUML) specification adopted in 2008; the Action Language for fUML (Alf), adopted in 2010; the UML 2.5 specification (which includes a semantics conformance point for the first time); and the Precise Semantics of UML Composite Structures. <\/p>\n<p>This presentation reviews the state of this work and the implications in practice of bringing real meaning to UML.<\/em><\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ed Seidewitz, THE driving force behind the new Executable UML standards (see also our Executable UML page for general information and resources on Executable UML) has recently uploaded a presentation on slideshare where he reviews the latest modifications on these standards and their implications.
