Stereotypes in object-oriented software development can be perceived in various ways and
they can be used for various purposes. As a consequence of these variations, assessing …

Abstract The Unified Modeling Language UML and the Open Modeling Language both have
introduced stereotypes as a new means for user-defined extensions of a given base …

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 are a means of virtually extending the set of modeling constructs available in a
modeling language like the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The use of stereotypes …

Role stereotypes are abstract characterisations of the responsibilities of the building blocks
of software applications. The role a class plays within a software system reflects its design …

As one of the UML's main extension mechanisms, stereotypes play a crucial role in the
UML's ability to serve a wide and growing base of users. However, the precise meaning of …

The dissertation investigates how to characterize software at various levels of abstraction
(eg, method, class, or system). Stereotypes are a powerful semantic mechanism in UML and …

Stereotypes were introduced into the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in order to provide
a means of customizing the language for particular needs. The stereotypes can increase the …

Abstract The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is becoming the lingua franca in software
development. One of the reasons of its popularity is the possibility to enrich the set of …

The paper investigates concepts of method and class stereotypes, focusing on
understanding OO design abstraction at a lower level than design patterns. Stereotypes are …
