Level: Introductory 01 Oct 2004 About this course This on-line course teaches how to model behavior using state machine diagrams. State transition matrices and sequence diagrams are explored as means of deriving the state machine diagram. The course also introduces the UML 2.0 concepts of structured classes and ports.
In this course
Topics covered - Module 1: State Machine Diagrams: 30 minutes
- Module 2: Structured Classes and Roles: 15 minutes
- Module 3: Interfaces and Ports: 45 minutes
- Module 4: Describing Class Composite Structure and Behavior: 1 hour
These topics are not covered in detail: Group transitions, transitions to history, structure hierarchy.
Audience
The course is intended for students with a strong foundation in basic UML who have an interest in using UML state machines and in learning the UML 2.0 advanced concepts.
Objectives - Explain the concepts used in state machine diagrams
- Read and draw a simple state machine diagram and describe what is being depicted
- Describe the UML 2.0 concepts of structured classes and ports
