Abstract

Object-oriented specification and design approaches, such as the UML, are used in many sectors, including information systems development. One reason for the popularity of the UML is that it has notations for many types of system and all stages of development. However, this also makes it cumbersome and semantically imprecise. This paper looks at a UML for information systems specification. It both selects from and extends the UML1.3, defining the semantics of the IS UML in B-style invariants. The paper discusses the relationship of the work both to the current UML metamodels, and to proposals for extensions to the UML.
