This paper delves into how UML profiles are utilized to tailor UML for different platforms or domains such as real-time or business process modeling. It outlines the steps involved in creating UML profiles, including the use of stereotypes and tagged values. Additionally, it discusses the importance of mapping definitions and execution examples. The conclusion emphasizes the significance of the model-driven approach in facilitating systematic and traceable transitions between different UML profiles.

  3. UML Profiles UML provides built-in profile facilities that allow for the tailoring of UML for different platforms (such as CORBA, J2EE or .NET) or domains (such as real-time or business process modeling). The definition of a UML profile involves three main steps 1. Inclusion of UML metaclasses (or UML metamodel packages) that can be used within the profile. 2. Creation of new model elements defined as extensions of UML metaclasses using stereotypes. 3. Definition of constraints on the use of model elements and their relationships

  4. UML Profiles The basic mechanisms to create UML Profiles are stereotypes and tagged values. Stereotypes are used to create new model elements, as extensions of UML metaclasses. In a class diagram, the name of a stereotype is shown within a pair of guillemets (e.g. <<stereotype>>) above the class name. The definition of stereotypes may also involve the definition of tagged values that can be used to define properties of the stereotype, and the definition of constraints that can be used to formalize certain aspects of the stereotype.

  11. Mapping Definition • The definition of a mapping is performed in three main steps: • 1. Analysis of the concepts defined in the profiles. • 2. Definition of conceptual relationships between the elements of the profiles. Informal identification on how each model element in the source profile can be associated with a model element from the target profile • 3. Formalize the relationships in a well-defined Profile Mapping package. Embed the element’s association, traceable naming and constrain definition (if needed) in the definition of a set of mapping stereotypes.

  19. Conclusion This short paper describes the two UML profiles that we use for the definition of a specification-to-design mapping in the context of the OMG SWRadio standardization effort. We also introduce the concept of UML model mapping and outline the mapping we defined between the UML RRRT Design profile and the UML Spec profile. This mapping allows making the transition between a UML spec and a UML RRRT Design in a systematic and traceable manner. The approach presented in this paper is model driven and follows the guidelines defined by the OMG’s Model Driven Architecture
