A prototype development of ET rescue robot by using a UML

Recently, a formal development process of robot in an application level has not been sufficiently encouraged and promoted. This leads an insufficient procedure to improve the robot development process in the application level. This article introduces an object-oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) that is applicable to the robot development process, i.e., a field sensing robot, in the application level. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used as a tool for analysis and design of the field sensing robot. The Mindstorms Lego model RCX is deployed as the main robot hardware and the C++ programming language is employed as the software tool for implementing the field sensing robot application. The tasks of robot are defined to move across the fields, to avoid the obstacles, and to reach the end point, according to the requirement. The robot employs the light sensor to detect the field surfaces in order to specify different types of movement, i.e., moving on a normal surface, increasing and reducing speed across a slop surface, and moving within a boundary. In addition, the robot uses the touch sensors to detect the obstacles during its movement toward the end point and to dodge the obstacles when hitting them. The robot operation is completed when the end point is detected. By following the formal standard development process using the UML model, the application of robot can be implemented rapidly and efficiently.

Currently, the HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) from a production line have to pass an operation test in a burn-in chamber. To ensure quality, after an operation period, the burn-in chamber has to be calibrated. The calibration process requires an engineer to manually monitor a temperature at the hybrid temperature recorder connected to the burn-in chamber throughout the entire process. It is a time consuming operation and inefficient process due to a large number of burn-in chambers used in the production line, when comparing with a limited number of engineers. This paper expresses a development of hybrid temperature recorder monitoring system used to improve such the calibration process. There are two main systems involved, i.e., a temperature recording system and a monitoring system. However, the monitoring system is mainly focused in this paper. Also, an object-oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) is applied in the development process. The monitoring system interconnects the hybrid temperature recorder through a wireless network to receive the temperatures captured from sensors inside the burn-in chamber. Then, the temperature data is processed and displayed at the central server of system in the engineering office. This could allow the engineer to centrally monitor all hybrid temperature recorders used in the calibration process of burn-in chamber in real-time. The monitoring system can display the alarm signal when the errors occur during the calibration process and sent it to the engineer for alerting as well. Furthermore, the temperature data can be stored in a database at the central server for future reference.

Debugging on computer program is a complex cognitive activity. Although it is complex, it’s still one of the popular issues in computer programming task. It is a difficult task, which is to understand what the error is and how to solve such error? In computer programming the difficulty is to understand the Object-Oriented programming concept together with the programming logic. If the programming logic is incorrect, the program codes will have such error named as logic error and can caused highly maintenance cost. Logic error is a bug in a program that causes it to operate incorrectly, without terminating or crashing the program. It will produce unintended output or other behavior than what we are expecting. Method that use to develop a propose model Object Oriented Debugger is Unified Modeling Language (UML). It is the best choice model and suitable to design the Object Oriented Debugger which will be developed in an object oriented programming environment. The model will provide an ability to capture the characteristics of a system by using notations in the process of designing and implementing the system. The model of Object Oriented Debugger has been successfully implemented. This model has been developed using Unified Approach methodology, which consists of two methods such as Object-Oriented Analysis (OOA) and Object-Oriented Design (OOD). The model developed is to capture the structure and behavior of the Object Oriented Debugger by using the UML diagram. The model also can ease the readability of the documentation for the maintenance purposes. The design of the Object Oriented Debugger Model has been developed using the UML notation. It’s consisting of two parts that are object-oriented analysis and object-oriented design. All the developing and designing are based on the model in UML.

in particular. Data management for muzaki, acceptance, and distribution and its report has been computerized, but have the disadvantage that is not integrated with one another and still use a computer that will reduce the efficiency of time management plus a few features that are less like making a donation receipt and report. Therefore, this study proposes the development of Zakat Management Information System based on client-server that can resolve the problems found in previous systems. The development is performed on this information system is to integrate the data Muzaki, donation data, and data distribution by grouping the distribution of consumptive and productive, giving information on the amount of revenue and income, availability of a direct donation receipt can be printed, the ease and accuracy in obtaining information, the availability of realtime periodic reports, and applications that can be accessed at the same time. In this system development, research methodology Rapid Application Development (RAD) as a method of system development. For system design methodology and analysis, research methodology approach with Object Oriented Analysis (OOA) and Object Oriented Design (OOD). With the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as a tool in the analysis and design. Zakat Information System application was tested using a method of software testing with black box testing and produce appropriate results. The hope, this research can help BMT Masjid Al-Azhar University branch Muzaki Ciledug in data management, donations and a better distribution so that the collection and disbursement of zakat can be further optimized and employees in managing the activities of this charity can be more effective and efficient in providing accurate information. Keywords : Information Systems, Zakat, Consumptive and productive, Rapid Application Development (RAD), and Unified Modeling Language (UML).

In this paper we present the original method of intensive hands-on training in Object-oriented Analysis and Design (OOA/OOD) with the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The method has been successfully used by the authors for three years. During the training, the students: go through the communication problems that are typical for large software development projects obtain the successful experience of applying UML to overcome these problems. The essence of the method is that a team of students is supposed to design a software system. They have several hours to complete the task. During this timeframe verbal and written communication is forbidden, and the UML is the only allowed language. This training is a kind of experiment for students -- they are to discover whether UML is "a real language" that is suitable and beneficial for a project team.The training was successfully delivered more than ten times in both academic and corporate environments and generated positive feedback from students and customers.

The UML (Unified Modeling Language), with the enhancements in UML 2.0, is receiving interest by an increasing number of industrial and academic groups from the EDA, embedded software and hardware systems, who look at it and at its extension mechanisms as a practical and standard means to define family of languages targeted to specific application domains and levels of abstraction, while providing unification. In the Embedded Systems and SoC (System-on-Chip) area, we defined a model-driven design methodology based on UML 2.0, UML profiles and C/C++/SystemC. In this paper, we extend this design flow in order to support the platform-based design principles. We also present the architecture of a prototype tool, which provides a graphical representation in UML (from a highlevel functional model down to RTL) of hardware and software components, C/C++/SystemC code generation from UML models, and a reverse engineering process from C/C++/SystemC code to UML models.

In recent years, agent-based systems have received considerable attention in both academia and industry. The agent oriented paradigm can be considered a natural extension to the object oriented (OO) paradigm. In spite of the fact that there are many OO analysis and design methods, there is very little work reported on design and analysis of agent-based systems. Agents differ from objects in many issues which requires special modeling elements. In this paper, we propose a software engineering process for agent-based systems based on existing object-oriented software engineering concepts. We extend the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to model agents (static and mobile).

Unified Modeling Language (UML), developed by a group of leading experts in object-oriented methodologies, has become the standard object-oriented development methodology in the software industry. UML contains a set of diagrams for describing different views and aspects of systems. UML use case diagrams are used during requirements analysis to define a use case view that constitutes a system’s functional model. Each use case describes a system’s functionality from a user’s perspective. However, the use case descriptions are often informal, which are error-prone and cannot be formally analyzed to detect problems in user requirements or errors introduced in a system functional model. A well-defined use case view is not only necessary for subsequent correct system design and implementation but also serves as a basis for future system evolution. Therefore, it is extremely important to ensure the correctness of the functional model captured in a use case view. In this chapter, we present an approach to formally translate a use case view into a formal model in hierarchical predicate transition nets that support formal analysis and thus are capable to detect possible requirements and modeling errors in a use case view.

Presents a comparison of six object-oriented analysis and design methodologies. For each of the methodologies, a formal representation of it is constructed as a metaprocess model and a meta-data model. These two metamodels of a methodology represent the steps of the analysis and design, the concepts and the techniques provided by this methodology. Based on this uniform representation, an extensive comparison of these six methodologies is then performed. The results are given as a set of tables in which the similarity and differences of these methodologies are exhibited. Adopting this formal approach, one can avoid errors caused by misunderstanding or misinterpretation of these methodologies. Consequently, an accurate and unbiased comparison is made possible.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

&lt;table width="593" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" width="387"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the effective standard language of an object-oriented based system analysis and design. The using of object-oriented approach based on UML specification can offer an understandable model, which can reduce the system's complexity. The use-case diagram, class diagram and sequence diagram are important models of the system development during early stages. The object mapping approach between UML class diagram in the analysis phase and source code in the implementation phase is a significant process in the software development life cycle. In order to ensure the consistency of system requirements from analysis to implementation. This paper presents the student registration system by using object mapping based on UML. The UML specification and the generation of Java source code influenced by specific features of class in object-oriented such as inheritance and the association between the classes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;

Multimedia development as one field of application in audio-visual technology seemed never to be separated from human needs of customers who desire a new innovation in every design and user friendly of an application.

An oral ulcer is considered an ulcer that occurs on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity. Its treatment however poses a serious challenge as experts in this area of family health care are rare. In order to affirm this claim, questionnaire was designed and distributed to get up-to-date information concerning the ailment, particularly its treatment, causes, and solutions among others. An expert system seeks to mimic the functions and capabilities of a real life expert. This means that just as the expert is domain specific, the expert system as well is domain specific. It consists of a user interface, a knowledge-base, a fact-base, and an inference engine; all working together to mimic an expert. Bayesian inference was used in this work to factor in probability as it is well known that the fact that one is experiencing the symptoms of a disease does not absolutely mean that one has that disease. The domain of this expert system is oral ulcer and it focuses on four common oral ulcers which include: Cold sores, Gingivostomatitis, Herpangina as well as Neutropenia. The application which was designed with Object-Oriented Analysis and Design methodology was implemented with java programming language, provided on the Netbeans 8.0.2 IDE.

Based on GEM, a system development and integration methodology is discussed and a structured approach is provided to guide enterprise/system integration projects. Structured and object-oriented analysis and design methodologies are also mentioned.

A precise definition of specialization and inheritance promises to be as useful in organizational process modeling as it is in object modeling. It would help us better understand, maintain, reuse, and generate process models. However, even though object-oriented analysis and design methodologies take full advantage of the object specialization hierarchy, the process specialization hierarchy is not supported in major process representations, such as the state diagram, data flow diagram, and UML representations. Partly underlying this lack of support is an implicit assumption that we can always specialize a process by treating it as “just another object.” We argue in this paper that this is not so straightforward as it might seems we argue that a process-specific approach must be developed. We propose such an approach in the form of a set of transformations which, when applied to a process description, always result in specialization. We illustrate this approach by applying it to the state diagram representation and demonstrate that this approach to process specialization is not only theoretically possible, but shows promise as a method for categorizing and analyzing processes. We point out apparent inconsistencies between our notion of process specialization and existing work on object specialization but show that these inconsistencies are superficial and that the definition we provide is compatible with the traditional notion of specialization.

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is becoming widely used for software and database modeling, and has been accepted by the Object Management Group as a standard language for object-oriented analysis and design. For data modeling purposes, UML includes class diagrams, that may be annotated with expressions in a textual constraint language. Although facilitating the transition to object-oriented code, UML’s implementation concerns render it less suitable for developing and validating a conceptual model with domain experts. This defect can be remedied by using a fact-oriented approach for the conceptual modeling, from which UML class diagrams may be derived. Object-Role Modeling (ORM) is currently the most popular fact-oriented approach to data modeling. This paper examines the relative strengths and weaknesses of ORM and UML for data modeling, and indicates how models in one notation can be translated into the other.Request access from your librarian to read this article's full text.
