Structure and Patterns in Software Design and the Unified Modeling Language

Theodore S. Norvell

These are slides from a talk I gave to the Memorial IEEE student branch, July 2001.

• The slides in PDF format

Some useful resources on the web include

• UML Resources at Rational (including the standard).
• Numerous links to resources on design patterns.

Some Home Pages

• O.-J. Dahl
• E.W. Dijkstra.
• C.A.R. Hoare.

Some products that support UML:

• Rational Rose (installed at MUN Engineering).
• Microsoft Visio Professional.
• Argo (free)
