whitepaper Intelligence System Company Selects Java Studio Enterprise to Speed Application Development2006-10-18 01:00:18 Sun Microsystems
  Working with the U.S. Army's National Ground Intelligence Center, Digital Reasoning Systems is providing a key application component for the Pathfinder system, a software R&D project focused on advanced data mining and visualization tools for intelligence analysts. After being selected as a key contributor to Pathfinder, Digital Reasoning began the process of choosing the best software development environment to ensure a successful outcome. Requirements included technologies to enable effective collaboration, support for UML visual modeling software, and support for both the Windows and Solaris operating systems. Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8 provided Digital Reasoning with the seamless and feature-rich visual modeling solution it needed to accelerate development.   
whitepaper Architecting On Demand Solutions, Part 22: Define and Deploy WebSphere Clusters Using Rational Software Architect WebSphere Cluster Creation Pattern2006-07-25 01:40:31 IBM
  In this paper, the reader will discover how to use the newly released WebSphere Cluster Creation Pattern to build and deploy WebSphere clusters. First, the WebSphere Cluster Creation Pattern is imported into Rational Software Architect. Next, a new UML model is created to which this pattern can be added, which encapsulates best practices for deploying WebSphere clusters. By applying a WebSphere profile to this model along with the pattern, the model will be able to define all of the components of a WebSphere cluster.   
whitepaper Use of Business Modeling in Requirements Definition Phase2006-08-26 01:00:10 Fujitsu
  For many enterprises, how to anticipate various changes in the business environment and promptly respond to those changes are important issues. However, in many cases, the IT systems that support the basis of business are extremely complicated and difficult to respond to changes. To address these problems, Fujitsu recently reviewed its SDAS system development methodology from the requirements definition phase by reconsidering its original concept. This paper describes the concept of modeling and then examines business process modeling and business data modeling. Lastly, the paper describes how these business modeling techniques are used to realize Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) systems.   
whitepaper GignoMDA - MDA Approach for Applications in the Database Domain2006-09-08 01:00:28 Dresden University of Technology
  Database Systems are often used as persistent layer for applications. This implies that database schemas are generated out of transient programming class descriptions. The basic idea of the MDA approach generalizes this principle by providing a framework to generate program code (and database schemas) for different programming platforms. The classic concept of the MDA is extended within the GignoMDA-project. That means, this approach provides a single point of information describing all aspects of database applications (e.g. database schema, user interfaces, business logic and project documentation) with a great potential of cross-layer optimization.   
whitepaper GignoMDA - Generation of Complex Database Applications2006-09-08 01:00:28 Dresden University of Technology
  Complex database applications feature a large amount of structural and content-related aspects, and with each project, these aspects either have to be implemented completely again or must be realized by adopting and adjusting available program code. Based on the MDA concept (Model-Driven Architecture), the GignoMDA Project aims at the enrichment of the automatic generation of complex 3-layer applications through the consideration of nonfunctional properties. Aside from the automation aspect, the optimal mapping of annotated UML models to multi-layer architectures plays a central role here. That means the approach provides a single point of truth describing all aspects of database applications (e.g. database schema, project documentation, etc.) with a great potential of cross-layer optimization.   
whitepaper Know Your UML With XML2006-10-13 01:00:15 Oracle
  Software technology has evolved to the point where big systems have become so complex that they are no longer simply specified in human language and programmed in computer language. Indeed, using UML (Unified Modeling Language) to model new software has become a de facto standard approach to building big systems. It isn't easy to get information out of UML models by using current modeling environments. Querying model data is nevertheless possible by means of the transformation described in this paper. It is shown that it is quite easy to pipe together current industry standards to transform a UML model into a database of software system knowledge in Oracle Database 10g, and it can be done without any programming and with nearly no work.   
whitepaper Towards a UML Profile for Modeling WAP Applications2006-01-18 01:01:44
  UML (Unified Modeling Language) is one of the most used languages to specify and document informatics applications. However, UML is a general-purpose language, so it often lacks of elements to model and represent concrete concepts of specifics domains. As a solution, OMG (Object Management Group) has created the profiles, a mechanism to extend the syntax and semantics of UML to express more specific concepts of certain application domains. This paper presents a UML profile for modeling WAP (Wireless Applications Protocol) applications.   
whitepaper MDA Tools Study Shows Strengths of OptimalJ2006-08-04 01:00:11 Compuware
  An enterprise content management system provides order to unstructured information. It manages the creation, management, processing, delivery, and archival of any content according to user-defined business rules. It establishes relationships between pieces of content, allowing the same content to be used in different contexts and renditions. It adds intelligence, creating categorization schema and metadata that make search and retrieval faster and more efficient. It automates the processing of content through its life cycle. Documentum 5 is a robust, flexible platform that supports enterprise content management applications. Documentum 5 is a set of products and services that work together, in varying combinations, to meet the content management needs of an enterprise. This paper provides an overview of the Documentum platform.   
whitepaper ClassSheets: Automatic Generation of Spreadsheet Applications From Object-Oriented Specifications2006-09-20 01:00:17 Association for Computing Machinery
  Spreadsheets are widely used in all kinds of business applications. Numerous studies have shown that they contain many errors that sometimes have dramatic impacts. One reason for this situation is the low-level, cell-oriented development process of spreadsheets. This process is improved by introducing and formalizing a higher-level object-oriented model termed ClassSheet. While still following the tabular look-and-feel of spreadsheets, ClassSheets allow the developer to express explicitly business object structures within a spreadsheet, which is achieved by integrating concepts from the UML (Unified Modeling Language).   
whitepaper Getting Started With Use Case Modeling2006-03-09 01:29:26
  These days use case modeling is often associated with UML. Ivar Jackobson has been credited with inventing use cases which appeared in the object-oriented community. If you have seen even the smallest thing of use cases, it is likely that this has been a use case diagram with a figure like shape from which a line goes to an ellipse with a few words in it. And you may have been told that this is how functional specifications are created in UML. In this paper it will be explained what use case modeling really is about and you will find out that it is fundamentally a text form for which a use case diagram is not much more than an index.
