Beyond stereotyping: metamodeling approaches for the UML
Proceedings of the 34th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2005 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.

Use of UML Stereotypes in Business Models
, 2011 This chapter presents some particularly useful UML stereotypes for use in business systems. Stereotypes are the core extension mechanism of UML. If you find that you need a modeling element or information extension to an element that is not in UML but it is similar to something that is, you treat your addition/extension as a stereotype.

Modeling interaction join point adaptations independent of pointcut models using UML stereotypes
Proceedings of the 13th workshop on Aspect-oriented modeling, 2009 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 ...

Does the use of stereotypes improve the comprehension of UML sequence diagrams?
Proceedings of the Second ACM-IEEE international symposium on Empirical software engineering and measurement, 2008 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.

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 2010 In recent years, several design notations have been proposed to model domain-specific applications or reference architectures. In particular, Conallen has proposed the UML Web Application Extension (WAE): a UML extension to model Web applications. The aim of our empirical investigation is to test whether the usage of the Conallen notation supports ...

Journal of Systems and Software, 2006 Stereotypes were introduced into the Unified Modeling Language to provide means of customizing this general purpose modeling language for its usage in specific application domains. The primary role of stereotypes is to brand an existing model element with specific semantics, but stereotypes can also be used to provide means of a secondary ...

The Role of Experience and Ability in Comprehension Tasks Supported by UML Stereotypes
29th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE'07), 2007 Proponents of design notations tailored for specific application domains or reference architectures, often available in the form of UML stereotypes, motivate them by improved understandability and modifiability. However, empirical studies that tested such claims report contradictory results, where the most intuitive notations are not always the best ...

Semantics of Stereotypes for Type Specification in UML: Theory and Practice
, 2001 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.

Evolution of XML schemas and documents from stereotyped UML class models: A traceable approach
Information and Software Technology, 2011 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 ...

, 2008 The main goal of this paper is to provide empirical evidence, through a controlled experiment, of the influence of stereotypes when modelers, developers, and maintainers have to comprehend UML sequence diagrams. The comprehension of UML sequence diagrams with and without stereotypes was analyzed from three different perspectives: semantic comprehension,
