- 2. Events • An event is the specification of a significant occurrence that has a location in time and space. • In the context of state machines, an event is an occurrence of a stimulus that can trigger a state transition. • A signal is a kind of event that represents the specification of an asynchronous message communicated between instances.
- 3. Types of Events • Events may be – external or – internal. • External events are those that pass between the system and its actors. For example, the pushing of a button • Internal events are those that pass among the objects that live inside the system. An overflow exception is an example of an internal event.
- 4. In the UML, • In the UML, you can model four kinds of events: – signals, – calls, – the passing of time, and – a change in state.
- 5. • Signals – A message is a named object that is sent asynchronously by one object and then received by another. A signal is a classifier for messages; it is a message type.
- 6. • Call Events – Just as a signal event represents the occurrence of a signal, a call event represents the receipt by an object of a call request for an operation on the object. A call event may trigger a state transition in a state machine or it may invoke a method on the target object. The choice is specified in the class definition for the operation.
- 7. • Time and Change Events – A time event is an event that represents the passage of time. As Figure 21-4 shows, in the UML you model a time event by using the keyword after followed by some expression that evaluates to a period of time..

- 16. Why to model source code • If you develop software in any programming language you’ll save your source code in . Extention format • As your application grows, no matter which language you use, you'll find yourself organizing these files into larger groups. • Furthermore, during the construction phase of development, you'll probably end up creating new versions of some of these files for each new incremental release you produce, and you'll want to place these versions under the control of a configuration management system. • Much of the time, you will not need to model this aspect of a system directly.
- 17. Artifact Diagram • Sometimes, however, it's helpful to visualize these source code files and their relationships using artifact diagrams. • Artifact diagrams used in this way typically contain only work-product artifacts stereotyped as files, together with dependency relationships.
- 18. modelling system's source code, • Either by forward or reverse engineering, identify the set of source code files of interest and model them as artifacts stereotyped as files. • For larger systems, use packages to show groups of source code files. • Consider exposing a tagged value indicating such information as the version number of the source code file, its author, and the date it was last changed. Use tools to manage the value of this tag. • Model the compilation dependencies among the source files using dependencies. Again, use tools to help generate and manage these dependencies.
- 21. Why modeling Executable release • Releasing anything other than a simple application is not so easy. • You need the main executable (usually, a .exe file), but you also need all its ancillary parts, such as libraries commonly .dll files or .class or.jar databases, • For distributed systems, you'll likely have multiple executables and other parts scattered across various nodes.
- 22. Why modeling Executable release • As you evolve your system, controlling the configuration of these many artifacts becomes an important activity and a more difficult one because changes in the artifacts associated with one application may affect the operation of other applications. • For this reason, you use artifact diagrams to visualize, specify, construct, and document encompassing the deployment artifacts that form each release and the relationships among those artifacts.
- 23. Modelling executable release, • Identify the set of artifacts you'd like to model. Typically, this will involve some or all the artifacts that live on one node, or the distribution of these sets of artifacts across all the nodes in the system. • Consider the stereotype of each artifact in this set. • For each artifact in this set, consider its relationship to its neighbours.
- 26. Why?? • A logical database schema captures the vocabulary of a system's persistent data, along with the semantics of their relationships. Physically, these things are stored in a database for later retrieval • The UML is well suited to modeling physical databases as well as logical database schemas.
- 27. How to make tables • (Push down) Define a separate table for each class. This is a simple but naive approach because it introduces maintenance headaches when you add new child classes or modify your parent classes. • (Pull up) Collapse your inheritance lattices so that all instances of any class in a hierarchy has the same state. The downside with this approach is that you end up storing superfluous information for many instances. • (Split tables) Separate parent and child states into different tables. This approach best mirrors your inheritance lattice, but the downside is that traversing your data will require many cross-table joins.
