Practical Software Analysis vs. Design Modelling
Practical modelling in software analysis differs significantly from design. The IMHO main differences are highlighted here. Continue reading
Modeling for Understanding and/xor/etc Execution
Executable models have a great potential for achieving real separation of concerns. However, some practical modeling aspects on the business side deserve closer attention. Continue reading
Modelling with Classes: Square and Rectangle revisited
Classic problem in class-modelling: how to express that a square is a special kind of rectangle? In order to deepen understanding, let us scrutinize the situation a bit closer here, using logical/ structural foundations of modelling: Continue reading
Reflections on Abstractions: The Use Case trade-off
Based on the elementary terms of relational structures, this little example shows the basic trade-off of Use Cases: understandability vs redundancy. Continue reading

Modelling Theory and Abstraction Awareness in 2012
Little collection of Tweets on Modelling and Abstraction in 2012: Model Thinking, Application, Conceptual and Formal Foundations etc. Continue reading
Human centric Modelling
There is a modelling at the low-end, that we use every day a million times, and there is modelling at the high-end with comprehensive concepts like UML, MDD etc. Both are good to have. Perhaps approaching the modelling topic from the low-end would make it easier accessible for most of the software practitioners. Continue reading

Software Modelling – a Rhino’s Perspectice
Got carried away by this little picture, I recently found in a tweet, and its correspondence to modelling. So I started fooling around a bit on blind spots, redundancy and how to handle it in software modelling. Continue reading

Model Transformation in Analysis
An analyst has two main ways of making use of Model Transformation in requirements analysis: applying rules to models and keeping views consistent. Continue reading
Reader Acceptance of Models
Modeling trade-off: new language to learn, but easy to use the power of graphical notation. Continue reading

UML and Complexity aware modeling
I believe that applying complexity classes to UML can provide a substantial benefit, if it can support the controlled (complexity aware) use of language. Continue reading
