WA-UML: Towards a UML extension for modelling Adaptive Web Applications

Abstract

In this paper, we propose WA-UML (Web Adaptive Unified Modelling Language); a UML profile for adaptive Web applications (AWA). It increases the expressivity of UML while adding labels and graphic annotations to UML diagrams. This extension of UML defines a set of stereotypes and constraints, which make possible the modelling of AWA. These stereotypes and these constraints are applied in a number of diagrams represented within the same model and on the same diagrams those which describe the system. In this paper we present use case diagram of WA-UML as well as its realization by the analysis class diagram
