A framework for an integrated unified modeling language
Abstract: The unified modeling language (UML) is one of the most commonly used modeling languages in the software industry. It simplifies the complex process of design by providing a set of graphical notations, which helps express the object-oriented analysis and design of software projects. Although UML is applicable to different types of systems, domains, methods, and processes, it cannot express certain problem domain needs. Therefore, many extensions to UML have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a framework for integrating the UML extensions and then use the framework to propose an integrated unified modeling language-graphical (iUML-g) form. iUML-g integrates the existing UML extensions into one integrated form. This includes an integrated diagram for UML class, sequence, and use case diagrams. The proposed approach is evaluated using a case study. The proposed iUML-g is capable of modeling systems that use different domains.
Key words: Unified modeling language (UML), Integration, Modeling, System analysis and design
创新点：提出一种集成的UML，以同时支持多个域的建模。
方法：首先建立集成UML扩展的框架，再利用此框架集成已有文献中的扩展（表2），形成集成的统一建模语言图形形式（integrated unified modeling language-graphical form,iUML-g form）。iUML-g将现有的UML扩展整合至一个集成形式中，此集成形式包含UML类图、时序图和用例图的集成图。
结论：通过对一个使用多个不同域的系统（此类型系统无法通过UML直接建模）进行建模，本文方法有效性得到验证。同时，包含有9人的iUML-g使用者问卷调查表明（表9），iUML-g的打分不低于3.56（满分为4）。
