5th international workshop on graphical documentation
Scott Tilley, Steve Murphy, Shihong Huang · 2005
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the de facto standard for graphically documenting modern software systems. Unfortunately, learning how to properly construct high-quality UML diagrams so that they are an effective means of communication is a challenging task. This workshop will focus on the refinement of an assessment instrument to determine the barriers to increased adoption of UML diagrams by professional software engineers, technical writers, and other project stakeholders. The ultimate goal is to develop a series of recommendations on how to improve UML diagramming practice, and how those practices can be codified in existing methodologies and supported by common tools to foster widespread use.
