Abstract The Unified Modeling Language (UML) was created on the basis of expert opinion
and has now become accepted as the 'standard'object‐oriented modelling notation. Our …

Over the past decade there has been a notable increase in the use of Task-Technology Fit
(TTF) theory within the field of information systems. This theory argues that information …

UML has been described by some as “the lingua franca of software engineering”. Evidence
from industry does not necessarily support such endorsements. How exactly is UML being …

Research on task–technology fit (TTF) theory is in need of refinement that is centered
around (1) conceptualizations of TTF,(2) operationalizations of TTF,(3) an oversight of …

Software-intensive embedded systems have become an essential aspect of our lives. To
cope with its growing complexity, modeling and model-driven engineering (MDE) are widely …

Abstract Model-based engineering (MBE) aims at increasing the effectiveness of
engineering by using models as important artifacts in the development process. While …

Although model-driven engineering (MDE) is now an established approach for developing
complex software systems, it has not been universally adopted by the software industry. In …

Context Software architecture viewpoints modularize the software architectures in terms of
different viewpoints that each address a different concern. Unified Modeling Language …

Modeling has become a common practice in modern software engineering. Since the mid
1990s the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become the de facto standard for …
