Extensions to UML Using Stereotypes
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) allows to visualize, to specify, to build and to document the devices of a system that involves a great quantity of software. It provides a standard form for writing the models of a system, covering so much of the conceptual aspects (such as processes of the business and functions of the system) as the concrete ones (

Beyond stereotyping: metamodeling approaches for the UML
UML is being used as the universal technique for modeling object-oriented applications across a wide range of domains. Developing a truly adequate uniform modeling technique in the face of these diverse domains seems an unsolvable quest and contrasts domain specific software engineering activities.

Semantics of Stereotypes for Type Specification in UML: Theory and Practice
In the context of object-oriented formalism, stereotypes are presented as a new means for user-defined extensions of the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Unfortunately, the stereotypes syntax and semantics vary depending on the proposed extensions and it is not easy to propose a complete formalization of this mechanism.

Does the use of stereotypes improve the comprehension of UML sequence diagrams?
This paper reports on a controlled experiment that investigates the influence of stereotypes in UML sequence diagrams. The comprehension of UML sequence diagrams with and without stereotypes is analyzed from three different perspectives: semantic comprehension, retention and transfer.

Extension to UML Using Stereotypes
The objective of this chapter is to first present the basic extension mechanisms proposed by UML. We then propose an extension to facilitate the modeling of specific applications. UML provides three extension mechanisms to allow the modelers to make some common extensions without having to modify the language of modeling underlying “Tag Values ...

Analysis of UML Stereotypes within the UML Metamodel
Stereotypes are a powerful and potentially expressive extension mechanism in the Unified Modeling Language (UML). However, it seems that stereotypes are difficult to handle because using stereotypes needs an understanding of the UML metamodel and, in particular, an understanding of OCL constraints.

Modeling interaction join point adaptations independent of pointcut models using UML stereotypes
Several approaches to aspect-oriented modeling of interactions are based on modeling pointcuts that select join points (pointcut models) and modeling adaptations needed at those join points (adaptation models). A common limitation of most of these approaches is that they couple the two models together because identifiers in adaptation models reference ...

Using UML Stereotypes to Support the Requirement Engineering: A Case Study
In this paper we discuss the transition of an educational process to real-life use. Specifically, a Requirements Engineering (RE) process was tailored and improved to comply with the organization business goals. We discuss challenges faced and proposed solutions, focusing on automation and integration support for RE activities.

Extension and Implementation of Iconic Stereotype for GNSS Application in the UML Class Diagram
UML cannot meet all the requirements offered in different software system for diverse application domain. GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) application domain is an especial environment that requires precise measurement and precision calculation of real-world geographical entities with the help of GPS (Global Position System) in both temporal ...

Evolution of XML schemas and documents from stereotyped UML class models: A traceable approach
Context: UML and XML are two of the most commonly used languages in software engineering processes. One of the most critical of these processes is that of model evolution and maintenance. More specifically, when an XML schema is modified, the changes should be propagated to the corresponding XML documents, which must conform with the new, modified ...
