Turning the original question inside out, has anyone ever seen a good example of how to describe a rule based system in UML? All of my team's attempts to manually produce a set of UML diagrams to document what the rule based part of our system was doing have been disappointing. The diagrams tended to show how various subsets of the rules might have worked if rephrased as procedures. An automatic round-trip tool between UML and Jess rules would be great, but the first step would be to establish a good mapping between the two domains, which I have not yet seen.

Now, the question really is: does a tool which does what you ask already exist? And I think the answer is "no." There are tools for converting other kinds of designs into Jess code: ontologies in Protege or OWL, for example. But not UML, to the best of my knowledge. --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Advanced Software Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
