Abstract

This chapter presents the unified modelling language (UML), which is a visual modelling language for software systems, and it is used to present several views of the system architecture. It was developed at rational corporation as a notation for modelling object-oriented systems. We present various UML diagrams such as use case diagrams, sequence diagrams and activity diagrams.
