Product Description
Book Description
The practical guide to developing real-time class models with executable UML.
Advanced techniques for creating rigorous, testable, complete UML specifications.
In-depth application examples focused on real-time, embedded systems.
By Leon Starr, the leading expert in building object models for real-time systems, and author of How to Build Shlaer-Mellor Object Models and Executable UML- A Case Study. Executable UML is for software professionals who want to apply object-oriented analysis and modeling techniques to real-world UML projects. In this book, Leon Starr presents the skills and techniques needed to build useful class models for creating precise, executable software specifications that generate target code in multiple languages and for multiple platforms. Leon, who wrote the definitive guide to Shlaer-Mellor modeling, emphasizes the practical use of executable UML modeling, presenting extensive examples from real-time embedded and scientific applications. Using the materials in his How to Build Shlaer-Mellor Object Models as a starting point, Leon presents an entirely new introduction to Executable UML, expresses all diagrams in Executable UML notation, and adds advanced new object modeling techniques. Coverage include- classes; attributes; associations and relationships; binary associations; association classes; specialization-generalization relationships; model constraints and descriptions; and reflexive, network, linear, and tree patterns for effective object modeling.
Leon Starr has been developing real-time and embedded software with executable models since 1985. His models have been used in factory material transport control systems, ultrasound and cardiac systems, gas chromatography and semiconductor wafer inspection systems, video post-production systems, and networked military battle simulators. He is author of How to Build Shlaer-Mellor Object Models, and a founding member and senior consultant at Model Integration, LLC in San Francisco, CA.

From the Back Cover
The practical guide to developing class models with Executable UML.
In Executable UML, Leon Starr shows how to build precise class models that form the foundation of rigorous software specifications. These specifications can be tested, debugged and optimized to generate code for multiple languages and platforms. Leon presents a wide range of examples from his projects in the fields of science and engineering-focusing on real-time environments where precise and accurate software specification is especially critical.
Using the materials in his classic How to Build Shlaer-Mellor Object Models as a starting point, Leon offers an introduction to Executable UML class models, expressing all diagrams in Executable UML notation with more object modeling techniques. Coverage includes:
- Executable UML classes and attributes
- Associations and relationships
- Binary associations and association classes
- Specialization-generalization relationships
- Loop constraints
- Reflexive, network, linear, and tree patterns for effective object modeling
Whether you're creating technical or business applications, Executable UML gives you the tools you need to build reliable software, readily deployed on a variety of specialized hardware and software platforms.

1.0 out of 5 stars
If want to learn about XUML, definitively is not the book!,
By Murilo (Recife - Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Executable UML: How to Build Class Models (Paperback)
I bought this amazing labeled book "Executable UML", but its contents is a deception, at least. The author didn't respect the book title, filling the book with a lot of uml basics concepts. The most adequate rating for this "book" is not zero star, but a black hole, to preserve it far..far way from us.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book,

This review is from: Executable UML: How to Build Class Models (Paperback)
I've had one of Leon Starr's other books, "How to Build Shlaer-Mellor Object Models" on my bookshelf for many years and used it as a constant reference for my OO training and documentation work. I have always liked the way Starr manages to simplify conceptual information in an engaging and down-to-earth manner - something that is close to my heart as a veteran educator. "Executable UML" builds on the models he introduced in his previous book and moves from the S-M world to the executable UML world. I thought the book was very well written and gave a good, clear explanation of what Executable UML actually is and how it extends the UML. The examples Starr uses to explain some of the more abstract ideas and concepts were great and his treatment of relationships and associations was excellent I thought. As well as the clarity of the writing I particularly appreciated the sense of humor in this book - something sadly lacking in many methodology texts. I've been using this book as well as Mellor and Balcer's book "Executable UML - A Foundation for Model-Driven Architecture" as references in developing xtUML online-learning courses and found them both invaluable. Great book - highly recommend it.

Excellent about UML, not much about "executable",
By Lars Høidahl (Uppsala, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Executable UML: How to Build Class Models (Paperback)
I was disappointed with this book because there is nothing here about UML action language or constraints. That's what I thought "executable" meant, but I obviously got something wrong.The book is the best I have read class modeling, though. If you want to learn practical UML modeling, I strongly recommend this book.
