Competitors of UML
Other proposals submitted to OMG for standardization:
- Catalysis (D. D‘Souza, A. Wills)
- Syntropy (S. Cook et al., IBM)
- OML/Open (B. Henderson-Sellers)
- Fusion (D. Coleman, HP)
-
Drawbacks of these approaches:
- they are based on their own processes and their own methods
- no integration of the major players (except Fusion)
- little support for different interaction patterns (concurrency and synchronization)
