Abstract

The Unified Modelling Language (UML) has been a standard modelling language for the development of software intensive systems since 2000. As a consequence, the information systems (IS) curriculum, at the Cavendish School of Computer Science, University of Westminster in London, had UML teaching incorporated two years ago. We have encouraged the introduction to and use of UML in modules that replaced traditional approaches to IS development. In this paper we report on experiences of using UML within the two modules of our undergraduate curriculum, delivered by the IS department. The first module is taught in the second year, i.e. at level 5, and delivers requirements analysis with UML. The second module uses the UML for modelling and designing distributed business applications and is taught in the final year, at level 6. In both modules it is assumed that an introduction to modelling in IS, with the syntax and semantics of a selection of UML modelling elements and diagrams, has been done earlier. We single out some problems and give a rationale for changes in the next academic year

在信息系统课程中教授UML的经验

自2000年以来，统一建模语言(UML)已经成为软件密集型系统开发的标准建模语言。因此，伦敦威斯敏斯特大学卡文迪什计算机科学学院的信息系统(IS)课程在两年前就整合了UML教学。我们鼓励在模块中引入和使用UML，以取代传统的IS开发方法。在这篇论文中，我们报告了在我们本科课程的两个模块中使用UML的经验，这些模块是由信息系统部门交付的。第一个模块在第二年教授，即第5级，并使用UML进行需求分析。第二个模块使用UML建模和设计分布式业务应用程序，在最后一年的第6级教授。在这两个模块中，假设已经在前面介绍了使用UML建模元素和图的语法和语义的is建模。我们挑出了一些问题，并给出了下一学年改变的理由
