The Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling is a collection of software tools to
|
|
present conceptual models of software systems in the form of diagrams, tables,
|
|
trees, and the like. A conceptual model of a system is a structure used to
|
|
represent the requirements or architecture of the system. TCM is meant to be
|
|
used for specifying and maintaining requirements for desired systems, in which
|
|
a number of techniques and heuristics for problem analysis, function
|
|
refinement, behavior specification, and architecture specification are used.
|
|
|
|
TCM takes the form of a suite of graphical editors that can be used in these
|
|
design tasks. These editors can be categorized into:
|
|
|
|
* Generic editors for generic diagrams, generic tables and generic trees.
|
|
* Structured Analysis (SA) editors for entity-relationship diagrams, data and
|
|
event flow diagrams, state transition diagrams, function refinement trees,
|
|
transaction-use tables and function-entity type tables.
|
|
* Unified Modeling Language (UML) editors for static structure diagrams,
|
|
use-case diagrams, activity diagrams, state charts, message sequence diagrams,
|
|
collaboration diagrams, component diagrams and deployment diagrams (only the
|
|
first three and last two UML editors are functional at this moment).
|
|
* Miscellaneous editors such as for JSD (process structure and network
|
|
diagrams), recursive process graphs and transaction decomposition tables.
