A Warnier/Orr diagram (also known as a logical construction of a program/system) is a kind of hierarchical flowchart that allows the description of the organization of data and procedures. They were initially developed 1976, [ 1 ] in France by Jean-Dominique Warnier [ 2 ] and in the United States by Kenneth Orr [ 3 ] on the foundation of ...
It emphasizes what must happen in the system being modeled. Since behavior diagrams illustrate the behavior of a system, they are used extensively to describe the functionality of software systems. As an example, the activity diagram describes the business and operational step-by-step activities of the components in a system.
4+1 is a view model used for "describing the architecture of software-intensive systems, based on the use of multiple, concurrent views". [1] The views are used to describe the system from the viewpoint of different stakeholders, such as end-users, developers, system engineers, and project managers. The four views of the model are logical ...
A context model (or context modeling) defines how context data are structured and maintained (It plays a key role in supporting efficient context management). [1] It aims to produce a formal or semi-formal description of the context information that is present in a context-aware system. In other words, the context is the surrounding element for ...
A Petri net is a directed bipartite graph that has two types of elements: places and transitions. Place elements are depicted as white circles and transition elements are depicted as rectangles. A place can contain any number of tokens, depicted as black circles. A transition is enabled if all places connected to it as inputs contain at least ...
A functional block diagram, in systems engineering and software engineering, is a block diagram that describes the functions and interrelationships of a system. The functional block diagram can picture: [1] functions of a system pictured by blocks. input and output elements of a block pictured with lines.
The systems modeling language (SysML) [ 1 ] is a general-purpose modeling language for systems engineering applications. It supports the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of a broad range of systems and systems-of-systems. SysML was originally developed by an open source specification project, and includes an open ...
Software engineering is an engineering approach to software development. [1][2][3] A practitioner, called a software engineer, applies the engineering design process to develop software. The terms programmer and coder overlap software engineer, but they imply only the construction aspect of typical software engineer workload.
