A common language for modelling software requirements and design in recent years is Unified Modeling Language (UML). Essential principles and rules are provided by UML to help visualize and comprehend complex software systems. It has therefore been incorporated into the curriculum for software engineering courses at several institutions all around the world. However, it is commonly recognized that UML is challenging for beginners to understand, mostly owing to its complexity and ill-defined nature. It is unavoidable that we need to comprehend their preferences and issues considerably better than we do presently in order to approach the problem of teaching UML to beginner students in an acceptable manner. This paper offers a hint based approach that can be implemented along with an ordinary lab task. Some keywords are heighted to indicate class diagram component and make students to understand the textual descriptions. The experimental results indicate significant improvement in students learning skills. Furthermore, majority of students also positively responded to the survey conducted in the end experimental study.

HDL(Hardware Description Language) is the most important modem tools used to describe hardware, and becomes important as we move to higher levels of abstraction. The HDL has been made brisk use of in analog design, MEMS device[1-2], process related field as well as digital design. The most important characteristics of HDL is Abstraction which is the strongest tool that extend greatly designer's design ability. In this paper by the Modelling Continuum with hierarchical structure of abstraction, we apply UML(Unified Modeling Language) to SoC Design with HDL UML makes an easy and visual description of the various levels of abstraction, and gives designers good flexible modeling capabilty for SoC Design.

ZigBee is a technology that is being rapidly developed since its power consumption is low and the stability of its communication is high. However, documented data which is coded using conventional programming languages such as C or assembly programming language would not be able to fulfill the various requirements upon application development by ZigBee. Unified Modelling Languge (UML) could be one of the alternatives to solve this problem. UML provides a variety of diagrams by which the results of the software development can be presented visually and by which the developers can communicate more spontaneously. This paper shows the results of an ongoing study into the application of model-driven methods for ZigBee Application. Also, this paper shows that this approach is feasible by comparing memory usage, latency, and power consumption of UML modelling code with those of handwritten code.

Manufacturing firms have adapted seriously the Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) techniques which consider concurrently all factors related to the product development by using effective communications and sharing of information on product development processes. This study performed modelling and characterizing the data related to product manufacturing information for Design for Manufacture(DFM) evaluation and analysis. It adapted component-based development method for communicating and managing manufacturing information among distributed manufacturing organizations. Introducing component-based development offers safety and speed to network based system. This development using Unified Modelling Language(UML) provides efficient way for reconstruction and distribution of applications. Also, the integration of database and component into the internet environment enables to communicate and manage effectively manufacturing information for DFM evaluation and analysis at any place in the world. Therefore this system can make it more reasonable that evaluating, analyzing, and effective decision making of product design using DFM technique.

XML documents used for exchanging structured documents between heterogeneous distributed systems are spreading among B2B and the industrial world rapidly. This condition brings an object-oriented visualization tool for modeling XML documents. It is hard to apply for DTD - the rule for declaring document type, which is employed in XML, to various industrial field. Thus, W3C announced Recommendation for XML Schema - the rule for declaring new document type which is adaptable to XML and satisfy to user. Document Type which has high reusability and flexibility can be defined owing to that XML Schema is designed by utilization of Object-Oriented-Modelling technique(UML). This document is proposed the specification and an algorithm for mapping XML Schema to UML.

Korea Electric Power Research Institute in charge of the power IT project "Development of Prototype for Advanced Substation Automation System based on the Digital Control Technology", is performing the verification of performance of the substation automation system. In order to verify a system based BUS protection IED, the standardized document and procedures are required. But there is nothing to describe systematically how to verify IEC 61850 based IED in the system environment except an individual IED testing way and report. This paper presents the substation automation system based ways and procedures to verify the IED using UML(Unified Modelling Language).

The role of protective relay with correct setting value is very important for the reliable operation of power : system. The setting process of a protective relay is difficult and requires hard work of calculations. Therefore, KEPCO as been using PROSET2000, a computer program system, in order to automate the setting process of protective relays in power transmission network since 2000. This system has a database and relay setting modules for each type of realy with coresponding Human and Computer Interaction(HCI). For the setting of a new type of relay, it require a new module, a HCI and a database table corresponding to the new relay. But it's update is not easy in case of new type of relay. This paper discussed the update method introducing a concept of Open Interface. It addressd a method to make a new HCI for new relay in view of object-oriented method using UML(Unified Modeling Language). Using the UML, we updated the PROSET2000. HCI screens for a new relay is generated automatically using the information of the new relay stored in the database. And, the database management module is upgraded to solve problems in manage and maintain the database in view of Open Interface.

To evaluate the suitability of UML (Unified Modelling Language) in terms of educating novice software engineers, we have conducted a survey study with 102 students who were enrolled in a mandatory course for sophomores in computer science and engineering department. The results indicate that UML 1) has high satisfaction rate among software novices as an education material, 2) improves computational thinking and problem-solving skills, and 3) increases the efficacy of learning when the education program is implemented in the order of UML, programming practice, and physical computing. This paper suggests the applicability of UML as a new education paradigm in software education.

Nowadays, XML has been favored by many companies internally and externally as a means of sharing and distributing data. there are many researches and systems for modeling and storing XML documents by an object-oriented method as for the method of saving and managing web-based multimedia document more easily. The representative tool for the object-oriented modeling of XML documents is UML (Unified Modeling Language). UML at the beginning was used as the integrated methodology for software development, but now it is used more frequently as the modeling language of various objects. Currently, UML supports various diagrams for object-oriented analysis and design like class diagram and is widely used as a tool of creating various database schema and object-oriented codes from them. This paper proposes an Efficinet Query Modelling of XML-GL using the UML class diagram and OCL for searching XML document which its application scope is widely extended due to the increased use of WWW and its flexible and open nature. In order to accomplish this, we propose the modeling rules and algorithm that map XML-GL. which has the modeling function for XML document and DTD and the graphical query function about that. In order to describe precisely about the constraint of model component, it is defined by OCL (Object Constraint Language). By using proposed technique creates a query for the XML document of holding various properties of object-oriented model by modeling the XML-GL query from XML document, XML DTD, and XML query while using the class diagram of UML. By converting, saving and managing XML document visually into the object-oriented graphic data model, user can prepare the base that can express the search and query on XML document intuitively and visually. As compared to existing XML-based query languages, it has various object-oriented characteristics and uses the UML notation that is widely used as object modeling tool. Hence, user can construct graphical and intuitive queries on XML-based web document without learning a new query language. By using the same modeling tool, UML class diagram on XML document content, query syntax and semantics, it allows consistently performing all the processes such as searching and saving XML document from/to object-oriented database.

UML activity diagram is useful to model business process and workflow by reason of its suitability to present dynamic aspect of system. However it Is difficult to present precise semantics which is taken as important in workflow system with the guide provided by OMG to the UML activity diagram. This paper suggests workfolw system modelling methodology by applying ASM semantics to the activity diagram after extending its semantics to correspond to workflow system characteristics. Through the exact definition to formal semactics based on ASM it is possible to effectively model workflow.
