What is Argo. UML? • Argo. UML is a Java based UML tool that helps you do your design using UML. It is able to create and save most of the nine standard UML diagrams. • Argo. UML is not only a free UML modeling tool, it is also an Open Source Development project where you are invited to contribute. 11/27/2020 5

Where does the name Argo. UML come from? According to Greek mythology, the hero Jason built a ship called Argo and with his comrades, the Argonauts, he left for the quest of the golden fleece. Poseidon, god of seas, protected and safely guided their journey. 11/27/2020 6

Who to use? • The users of Argo. UML are – – software designers & architects software developers business analysts systems analysts and other professionals involved in the analysis, design and development of software applications. 11/27/2020 7

Features • Support open standards extensively: UML, XMI, SVG, OCL and others. • 100% Platform independent thanks to the exclusive use of Java • Open Source, which allows extending or customizing. • Cognitive features like: – reflection-in-action – opportunistic design – comprehension and problem solving 11/27/2020 8

Features(con’t) • Cognitive features like – reflection-in-action • • Design critics are simple agents that continuously execute in a background thread of control. They analyze the design as the designer is working and suggest possible improvements. Design Critics Corrective Automations (partially implemented) "To Do" List User model (partially implemented) – opportunistic design • "To Do" List • Checklists – Comprehension and Problem Solving • • • Explorer Perspectives Multiple, Overlapping Views Alternative Design Representations: Graphs, Text, or Table 11/27/2020 9
