Hangout for experimental confirmation and demonstration of software, computing, and networking. The exercises don't always work out. The professor is a bumbler and the laboratory assistant is a skanky dufus.

Maturing UML and Increasing Expressiveness

ACM News Service: UML Integration Reaches Impressive Degree.  This blurb features the increasing integration of UML with development tools and the blending from high-level workflows to lower-level implementation details. Along with the notation's increasing familiarity, there are now good practices for making the material more-understandable to non-experts and of greater use in envisioning and explaining a system -- with suitable care. Peter Coffee's full 2005-03-07 eWeek article has the details, and a few additional links to commercial UML-product vendors.
Coffee's article inspired me to check the OMG site for available materials on the now-approved OMG Standard for UML 2.0.  I wanted to use the latest and greatest in some design work as part of the TROST Project for my M.Sc dissertation.  It looks, uhh, interesting as well as daunting.  I just downloaded the foundation bits along with the MOF 2.0 Core specification.  Maybe I will finally get my head around the Meta-Object Facility.
