Warning: A+D are Processes on Continuum!
Successful and Verifiable A+D Can Lead to
Quantifiable Software Engineering
UML-4.5
Defining Component Concepts

CSE333



A Component is Composed of One or More
Classes (or Other Components) and is Intended to
Support a “Constructed” Unit of Functionality
Classes Can be Utilized in Multiple Components
A Class Utilized in Multiple Components
Maintains the “Same” Semantics in All of its
Contexts
Our Interest Involves:
 Component-Based Design
 Interdependencies Among Components
 Alternative Perspectives of Component
Interactions
 Framework for Reusable Components
UML-4.6
Guidelines for Designing Components
Specifying “Good” Components

CSE333 
Identifying a “Good” Component is Hard Work
A Well-Designed Component
 Highly-Cohesive:
 A Single Design Abstraction
 May be Composition of other Abstractions

Promotes Loose Coupling:
 Minimal Ties to Other Components
 Encourage Interactions that Mirror “Real” World

Sufficient:
 Captures “Enough” Characteristics for Efficient
and Meaningful Operation
 Represent “Real” World as it Occurs
UML-4.7
Guidelines for Designing Components
Specifying “Good” Components

CSE333
A Well-Designed Component - Continued
 Complete:
 Characteristics Provide Wide Range of Useful
Capabilities for Clients
 Anticipate Current and Future Needs!

Non-Redundant:
 No Two Components “Same” Functionality
 Coordinate Team-Oriented Design Process

Predictable:
 Behaves as Expected to Users
 Users are Other Software Components,
Applications, Tools, and “Real” End-Users
UML-4.8
Guidelines for Designing Components
Understanding the Utility of Components

CSE333
Three Categories of Software in Application
 Domain-Independent (20%)
 Applicable Regardless of Domain
 Stack, List, etc.

Domain-Specific (65%)
 Likely to be Used in Current and Future Projects
 Inventory Control Components for Supermarkets,
Auto Parts, Video Tape Rentals, etc.

Application-Specific (15%)
 Cannot be Reused - Special Purpose
 Components for a Particular or Specific Entity

Companies Must Strive for
Domain-and-Organization Specific Reuse
UML-4.9
Guidelines for Designing Classes
Making Choices for Class Design

CSE333
Containment versus Inheritance
 Class A “Has-A” Class B
 Class A has an Attribute of Type Class B
 Instances of Class B Live Within Class A

Class A “Is-A-Kind-Of” Class B
 Class A Needs to Acquire all Behavior of Class B
 Class A is a Specialization of Class B
 Specialization can Expand or Refine Behavior


Choose
 Inheritance if Class B Used by Other Classes
 Containment if Class B Dedicated to Class A
Overuse of Inheritance akin to Spaghetti Code!
UML-4.10
Guidelines for Designing Components
Making Choices for Component Design

CSE333



Components and Containment
 Component A Contains B, C, D, etc.
 B, C, D - Classes and/or Components
 Is Containment a Relationship?
Components and Inheritance
 Can a Component Inherit from Another
Component?
 What are the Semantics of Such a Behavior?
Overuse of Containment akin to too Many Nested
Procedures/Functions!
Overall: Designers Must Cooperate and
Communicate!

In UML, a Conceptual Model is the Set of Static
Structure Diagrams with Classes, Attributes, and
Associations, but no Operations

 Helps SEs Manage Complexity
 Is Simpler than Reality
Conceptual Model Should:
 Organize Data into Objects and Classes
 Structure Data via Inheritance/Associations
 Specify Behavior and Public Interfaces
 Describe Global Behavior
 Describe Constraints on System Behavior

Relationships, and Semantics
Classes are Graphically Represented as Boxes with
Compartments for

Compartments that Grow Over Time to
Incrementally Add Functionality and Features

Activity Diagrams: Represent the Performance of
Operations and Transitions that are Triggered
Captures Dynamic Behavior (Activity-Oriented)
Purposes:
 Model Business Workflows
 Model Operations
 Merging of FSMs and Petri-Net Concepts?
 Sequence::Time vs. Collaboration::Message vs.
Statechart::Event vs. Activity::Actions
Main Concepts: State, Activity, Completion
Transition, Fork, Join
Swimlanes Allow Relevant Classes to be Used


UML as a Model Can’t Work in Isolation
Large Scale System Design/Development Involves
 Team-Oriented Efforts
 Software Architectural Design
 System Design, Implementation, Integration
The Unified Process by Rational is
 Iterative and Incremental
 Use Case Driven
 Architecture-Centric

What are your Impressions of UML?
 “Ultimate” Modeling Language?
 “Ugly” Modeling Language?
How do Different Technologies, Models, and
Paradigms Interact with One Another?
 Java vs. UML vs. IOA?
 Role of Reuse and Software Architectures?
 Agents vs. UML vs. Optimal Deployment?
 Secure Modeling via UML?
What will Future Bring?
 Can “Complete” UML Tool be Developed?
 What about 80-20 Rule?
