Communicating Systems with UML 2

Modeling and Analysis of Network Protocols

I am very happy to present my book issue of all the work that I have done during my PhD. It deals with the application of a modeling language to a very specific domain: Communication Systems. Some applications of this work can be seen in "Modeling Network Protocols With UML"

David GARDUNO, PhD. He has worked as consultant for many aeronautical companies such as Airbus and Thalès Avionics. His main duties concerned system modeling and product leading. He has also worked as trainer on system modeling (SysML), Business Process Modeling (BPM), OO Analysis and Design for the European Commission and Astrium, amongst others. He currently works for an intrnational company on electrical systems.

Michel DIAZ, Director of Research at CNRS, editor of twelve books, and 200 publications, Silver Core of IFIP, Senior Member of IEEE, member New York Academy of Sciences, listed in the Who'sWho in Science and Engineering.

Most of the current bibliography on the subject is in the form of scientific papers available in very specialized scientific publications; therefore, they use a complex language and highly technical explanations.

The rest of the literature on the subject is either specialized on teaching UML or on presenting network mechanisms together with the layers of communications protocols.

On the contrary, this book exposes a set of practical examples which can be used either for teaching UML by using protocol examples or for teaching network protocols using UML, leading to a more understandable, and simulation-based approach.

This book gives a practical approach for modeling and analyzing communication protocols using UML 2. It shows how to describe and validate the main protocols issues (as synchronization problems, client-server interactions, layer organization and behavior, etc) in an easy and understandable way. For doing so, the book considers and presents the main traditional network examples (e.g., unidirectional flows, full-duplex communication, error recovering, alternating bit). Finally, it shows the outputs resulting from a few simulations of these UML models.
