HOOD emphasizes the use of state transition diagrams, data flow diagrams,
and context diagrams.

I think that's the wrong way of looking at HOOD.

HOOD still is a design _method_ applying certain rules and restrictions.
It just uses a specific notation (merely for historical reasons, I'd say).

UML on the other hand is a meta-language, so nobody stops you from
expressing a HOOD design in UML notation with the appropriate stereotypes.

See HRT-HOOD -> HRT-UML.
