UML (informatique)Le Langage de Modélisation Unifié, de l'anglais Unified Modeling Language (UML), est un langage de modélisation graphique à base de pictogrammes conçu comme une méthode normalisée de visualisation dans les domaines du développement logiciel et en conception orientée objet. L'UML est une synthèse de langages de modélisation objet antérieurs : Booch, OMT, OOSE. Principalement issu des travaux de Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh et Ivar Jacobson, UML est à présent un standard adopté par l'Object Management Group (OMG).
Langage de modélisationUn langage de modélisation est un langage artificiel qui peut être utilisé pour exprimer de l'information ou de la connaissance ou des systèmes dans une structure qui est définie par un ensemble cohérent de règles. Les règles sont utilisées pour l'interprétation de la signification des composants dans la structure. Un langage de modélisation peut être graphique ou textuel.
Architecture description languageArchitecture description languages (ADLs) are used in several disciplines: system engineering, software engineering, and enterprise modelling and engineering. The system engineering community uses an architecture description language as a language and/or a conceptual model to describe and represent system architectures. The software engineering community uses an architecture description language as a computer language to create a description of a software architecture.
Systems Modeling Languagevignette|Collage des diagrammes SysML Systems Modeling Language - SysML en abrégé - est un langage de modélisation spécifique au domaine de l'ingénierie système. Il permet la spécification, l'analyse, la conception, la vérification et la validation de nombreux systèmes et systèmes-de-systèmes. À l'origine, SysML a été développé dans le cadre d'un projet de spécification open source, et inclut une licence open source pour sa distribution et son utilisation.
Software development processIn software engineering, a software development process is a process of planning and managing software development. It typically involves dividing software development work into smaller, parallel, or sequential steps or sub-processes to improve design and/or product management. It is also known as a software development life cycle (SDLC). The methodology may include the pre-definition of specific deliverables and artifacts that are created and completed by a project team to develop or maintain an application.
Domain-specific modelingDomain-specific modeling (DSM) is a software engineering methodology for designing and developing systems, such as computer software. It involves systematic use of a domain-specific language to represent the various facets of a system. Domain-specific modeling languages tend to support higher-level abstractions than general-purpose modeling languages, so they require less effort and fewer low-level details to specify a given system.
Object-modeling languageAn object-modeling language is a standardized set of symbols used to model a software system using an object-oriented framework. The symbols can be either informal or formal ranging from predefined graphical templates to formal object models defined by grammars and specifications. A modeling language is usually associated with a methodology for object-oriented development. The modeling language defines the elements of the model. E.g., that a model has classes, methods, object properties, etc.
Développement rapide d'applicationsLa méthode de développement rapide d'applications, dite méthode RAD (acronyme de l'anglais rapid-application development), est la première méthode de développement de logiciels où le cycle de développement est en rupture fondamentale par rapport à celui des méthodes antérieures dites « en cascade ». Ce nouveau cycle qualifié d'itératif, d'incrémental et d'adaptatif, se retrouvera dans toutes les méthodes dites « agiles » publiées par la suite.
General-purpose modelingGeneral-purpose modeling (GPM) is the systematic use of a general-purpose modeling language to represent the various facets of an object or a system. Examples of GPM languages are: The Unified Modeling Language (UML), an industry standard for modeling software-intensive systems EXPRESS, a data modeling language for product data, standardized as ISO 10303-11 IDEF, a group of languages from the 1970s that aimed to be neutral, generic and reusable Gellish, an industry standard natural language oriented modeling language for storage and exchange of data and knowledge, published in 2005 XML, a data modeling language now beginning to be used to model code (MetaL, Microsoft .
View modelA view model or viewpoints framework in systems engineering, software engineering, and enterprise engineering is a framework which defines a coherent set of views to be used in the construction of a system architecture, software architecture, or enterprise architecture. A view is a representation of the whole system from the perspective of a related set of concerns. Since the early 1990s there have been a number of efforts to prescribe approaches for describing and analyzing system architectures.
