Many of these notations use interaction diagrams to model possible sequences of interactions between a system and its environment, or between the objects of the system. Other methods use structured textual descriptions or regular expressions for specifying use cases or use scenarios. Although many methods use similar notations, there are often substantial differences in their underlying concepts and in the content expressed by the diagrams. On the other hand, completely different notations use sometimes the same concepts and show the same aspects of the global behaviour of a system. In this talk we will describe the characteristics of different notations. We will show some of their underlying concepts and how these relate to each other. Finally, we will give a short overview of the techniques for modelling global behaviour that are used by some of the current object-oriented analysis methods. About the speaker Dorothea Beringer graduated in 1989 in Computer Science at the University of Bern. After working for some time as a software engineer she got involved into consulting for quality assurance, project management and software development methods. In 1994 she joined the software engineering laboratory of the EPFL. Her domains of research include object-oriented analysis, especially the modelling of global behaviour. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These talks are free and open to all.
