Applied software engineering principles for UML

Summary form only given, as follows. The crucial factors for Unified Modeling Language's (UML's) broad acceptance in the future are the thorough understanding of its concepts, an in-depth knowledge about the meaning and manipulation of notations, and a coherent methodological framework. Therefore, in this tutorial we will focus both on a thorough treatment of UML's description techniques and on their seamless integration into a practical development process for sequential and concurrent systems.
