 INTRODUCTION

This article, which aims to introduce the basics of UML notation, is the second in a series of four devoted to modeling. The first article [H 3 885] introduces SysML. The following articles describe a modeling method using SysML [H 3 887] , followed by a case study [H 3 888] .

This article introduces the basics of UML notation, necessary to start modeling for software specification and design. The UML notation is very comprehensive and difficult to master. However, a selected subset is more than sufficient to meet the needs of most people.

Today, more and more projects are embarking on the adventure of Model Driven Engineering (MDE) at software level, as a complement to Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) at system level. In this context, UML modeling is becoming an essential discipline to master.

A table of acronyms is available at the end of the article (§ 4 ).
