1. Object-oriented modelingPackagediagrams Karolina Muszyńska Based on: S. Wrycza, B. Marcinkowski, K. Wyrzykowski „Język UML 2.0 w modelowaniu SI”

2. Object Modeling • Organizing and grouping - package diagrams • role • basic concepts • advanced concepts • examples

3. Package Diagrams –role Package diagram is a graphical representation of the logical structure of the system as a set of packages combined with dependencies and decomposed. These diagrams are used for grouping and organizing complex project documentation.

4. Package Diagrams –basic concepts Package- a general-purpose mechanism that is used to organize the elements of a group. Package may include a variety of UML classifiers, complete diagrams, class libraries, subsystems, models or templates. Dependency - the basic way to combine packages into a logical structure, which results in creation of package diagrams Package nesting/decomposing – anatural way to organize packages, which can be multilevel

5. Package Diagrams –basic concepts Dependency Package

6. Package Diagrams –basic concepts Nesting/Decomposition

7. Package Diagrams – advanced concepts • Stereotyping of packages: • model stereotype • subsystem stereotype • template stereotype • class library stereotype • Stereotyping of dependencies: • import • merge • access

8. Package Diagrams – advanced concepts • Model stereotype - describes the packages that are models; common model stereotype packages represent use cases models, business models and analytical models • Subsystem stereotype - is useful in modeling systems decomposed into hierarchically ordered packages • Template stereotype - describes a package which is model solutions to problems in a given field • Class library stereotype - describes a package which groups system components to be used by other packages

9. Package Diagrams – advanced concepts • Import stereotype - describes commonly used dependency, meaning inclusion of classifiers, which are inside the target package into the source package during the operation of the system • Merge stereotype - leads to merging of classifiers which are inside the target package with the classifiers included in the source package; such merging dependency means that the classifiers from the source package inherit from the target package, but only within the classifiers of the same type, identical names, with "public" visibility • Access dependency - means that the source package can access the contents of the target package without physical download of data

10. Package Diagrams – advanced concepts Dependency stereotypes

11. Package Diagrams – advanced concepts Subsystem stereotype Dependency stereotypes

12. Steps of creating a package diagram • identification and labeling of packages • classification of identified packages using appropriate stereotypes, • identification of packages nesting/ decomposition, • combining packages using dependencies, • specification of dependencies by giving them appropriate stereotypes
