| Summary: | The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a visual modeling language for object-oriented software development. Although the Object Management Group (OMG) adopted UML as its standard modeling language in 1997, the consensus in the academic community and the industry is that further research is needed to evaluate, enhance, extend, and formalize UML. A substantial amount of research has been conducted to this end, but most was based on common sense, informal observation, and intuition. Systematic and empirical studies to analyze, evaluate, and enhance UML have been lacking. This paper attempts to evaluate and study UML from a cognitive perspective. Specifically, the concept mapping approach will be used to investigate the cognitive process involved in using the UML diagrams. The conceptual maps to be developed on UML diagrams will serve as a cognitive basis for UML evaluation, enhancement, and extension. |
