  • PlantUML – UML Diagramming Tool

    This looks like a great set of tools to create different types of UML diagrams from simple text representations. Uses Graphviz for some diagram types.

    Quoting their website

    PlantUML is a component that allows to quickly write :

    • Sequence diagram
    • Usecase diagram
    • Class diagram
    • Object diagram
    • Activity diagram (here is the legacy syntax)
    • Component diagram
    • Deployment diagram
    • State diagram
    • Timing diagram

    The following non-UML diagrams are also supported:

    • JSON data
    • YAML data
    • Network diagram (nwdiag)
    • Wireframe graphical interface (salt)
    • Archimate diagram
    • Specification and Description Language (SDL)
    • Ditaa diagram
    • Gantt diagram
    • MindMap diagram
    • Work Breakdown Structure diagram (WBS)
    • Mathematic with AsciiMath or JLaTeXMath notation
    • Entity Relationship diagram (IE/ER)

  • TeleTrader Software GmbH

  • Serbian Archives of Medicine

    Serbian Archives of Medicine

    During 2006 and 2007 I was working on the web publishing platform for “Serbian Archives of Medicine” Journal of the Serbian Medical Society.

    The requirement was to create a system that would accept the submitted articles, routing them through the complex system of administration, reviews, revisions, edits, and so on until they reach the publication.

    On the other hand, there was a need to put the existing printed editions online as well.

    I have presented to the revision board my analysis of the entities and processes, shown some ideas how to handle them in the system, they loved it, and I was hired to do the job.

    After several iterations of architecture revisions, I have designed the database in Access (hosting limitation) which was later migrated to Microsoft SQL Server.

    The web application was implemented in ASP.NET 1.1 WebForms, as it was the platform available for hosting at the time, using C# and NUnit for testing.

    The design was aimed for clean overview and quick loading times, implemented in XHTML (as far as ASP.NET 1.1 WebForms allow), CSS, and enhanced a bit with JavaScript.

    The document management system was a real challenge, since the client had a complex process, but in close cooperation it was implemented successfully.

    The system was later a bit tailored and deployed to [permalink href=”247″]Serbian Dental Journal[/permalink] web site.

  • Netviz

    Netviz

    During a good part of 2006 and 2007, I have created the software architecture and managed a team of experienced developers to create a Healthcare industry related visual networking tool for a Swiss consulting company.

    System architecture specification was my first focus, documented in detail and frequently communicated to the client.

    The project was done using loose Agile process, following the mantra “Release early, release often”, so system wide changes were continuously propagated and implemented.

    The architecture and system entities and relations design were growing and changing during the project, and I am proud to say that we have come up with a great product in the end.

    The software was implemented in Java, using JUNG Graph framework and XML as the data source, using JUnit for unit testing.

    The highlights

    • Complex data queries (could be performed using commands as well as GUI wizards)
    • Data filtering
    • Advanced visualization mechanics
    • Data source was flexible (easily changed from files to web service for example).
