Seminar: Rapid prototyping using the Unified Modelling Language (UML)

17 July 2002 News

Software has become the very personality of embedded products. Interestingly, most of the 'software' attention has been focused on the lower-level development activities such as writing the software, compiling, linking, and debugging at the assembly and source code levels. However, little attention has been paid to the very high-risk factors such as designing the right product, building a credible design, and delivering the application source code in a well-documented, maintainable, and re-usable format.

Systems-level software designer, I-Logix, says that unlike common CASE tools that enable a developer to only draw pictures and create data dictionaries, its Rhapsody object-oriented analysis design and implementation tool provides a complete visual programming environment that conforms to the UML standard notation and integrates the entire software development process into one 'associative' environment.

I-Logix is holding seminars in Stellenbosch and Johannesburg on the 22 and 24 July respectively, where the following topics will be covered: Visual modelling using the UML; Executable models; Model code associativity; Realtime framework; Design level debugging; and Concurrent design collaboration.

Readers who are interested are invited to attend.
