Abstract
Analysis and design are important phases in the system development lifecycle. In these phases, developers record information necessary for properly understanding the nature of the systems under consideration.We consider a particular type of system, named Remote Lab that allows both teachers and students to perform real experiments over the internet and we focus on Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality (VISIR). We describe a summarized web interface of VISIR using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Our case study aims at identifying the requirements of VISIR and at creating a set of UML diagrams that succinctly provide enough information to both developers and users so that they acquire enough information for building a general understanding of it. Additionally, we provide elements for extending UML to better support further user interface development in VISIR.
Highlights
In 1997, Booch, Raumbaugh and Jacobson submitted to the Object Management Group (OMG) the first version of a new modeling language, called UML, for “Unified Modeling Language”
The aim of the paper is to identify the interactions occurring between users and a remote lab named Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality (VISIR) system and diagram them by UML, in order to facilitate the conceptual understanding of the system structure and functionality
Given that today the VISIR experiment pages have been rewritten in HTML5 and that current work focus on this approach, we expect a broader adoption on VISIR experiment pages with HTML5 in the near future [38]
Summary
In 1997, Booch, Raumbaugh and Jacobson submitted to the Object Management Group (OMG) the first version of a new modeling language, called UML, for “Unified Modeling Language”. The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) decided to make UML a standard language for system engineering [3]. It has become a de facto common language for developing and exchanging engineering designs. A number of UML-compatible modeling tools, such as Microsoft Visio and Rational Rose, have been developed for use within academia and industry. These tools are based on functional testing concepts and input languages, both graphical and textual in nature [4]. It is a graphical notation for drawing diagrams of software
