UML 2.0

Karl Frank,
Principal Consultant, TogetherSoft, (Borland)
 
Can it really be eight years since the introduction of UML at OOPSLA '95 and Jim Rumbaugh's well remembered presentation of the Unified Method to COOUG in December that year?

Since that time, UML has been widely accepted for analysis and design, replacing almost all other notations, and becoming a standard for both tool vendors and IT shops. Now, after three years of work, including gathering requirements and building consensus, the Analysis and Design Platform Task Force of Object Management Group Inc. is set to finalize Version 2.0 of the Unified Modeling Language specification that is expected to lead to the creation of a new generation of tools that bring together modeling and requirements management within a component-based development environment.

Karl Frank has contributed to all the OMG meetings and will explain what's going on with UML 2.0, both where it is now, and what it will provide to today's software modeling practioners. The new standard is divided into a number of different specifications, each of which addresses a different issue, from diagram interchange to metadata standards.  

This will be Karl Frank's second appearance at COOUG. He last spoke to us in March, 2001 on Model Driven Architecture. Karl Frank is a contributor to the Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2 specifications, in his role as Borland's representative at the OMG Analysis and Design Task Force, and is a senior consultant on modeling for Borland Professional Services. He has been working in OO Analysis and Design since 1990, primarily for the financial industry.
