A Brief Overview of the UML Scientific Profile
It provides a tool for developers in scientific simulation, but appears incremental as it builds on existing UML profiles.
The paper introduces UML SP, an Object-Oriented Simulation Language for scientific simulation, which supports Unified Process methodology and the first three stages of simulation development, and is available as open source on GitHub.
This article provides a brief overview of the UML SP (UML Scientific Profile). It is an Object-Oriented Simulation Language and may find usage in OOS and ABS. UML SP allows for the application of Unified Process methodology for the development of simulation software. It supports the first three stages of simulation: (1) definition of simulation objectives, definition of requirements for simulation software, (2) conceptual modelling, (3) formal description and partially, (4) programming. UML SPs positioning is that of a language for scientific simulation. It can easily be implemented in UML editors that support UML profiles. The project is available as open source on the GitHub platform.
