Umple is an open-source software modeling tool and compiler. It incorporates textual
language constructs for UML modeling, including associations and state machines. It …

There is hardly a university that does not offer a course in software engineering for computer
scientists. Due to the expanding complexity of software systems and rapidly changing …

We present the results of a survey of tool use in software modeling education conducted
from December 2016 to March 2017. The survey was conducted among 150 professors who …

We discuss how Umple merges modeling and programming by adding modeling constructs
to programming languages and vice-versa. Umple has what we call model-code duality; we …

UML modelling tools provide poor support for composite state machine code generation.
Generated code is typically complex and large, especially for composite state machines …

An important decision that must be taken by anyone designing a course involving (object
oriented software) modelling is what tool support, if any, to use. Options include picking an …

Abstract1 Many tools and approaches support the use of modeling abstractions in textual
form. However, there have been few studies about whether textual models are as …

While several benefits of using models in software engineering have been observed in
practice, the adoption of modeling remains low. Multiple challenges of using models …

In this paper we present a novel approach to reverse engineering, in which modeling
information such as UML associations, state machines and attributes is incrementally added …

Modeling education is necessary for software engineers because object-oriented modeling
is used widely in the computing industry. However, there may be problems in terms of the" …
