Rational Software Modeler v7.0 Overview
Onsite Instructor-Led Format



Audience
System engineers, system architects, and software architects and other professionals that will be designing and modeling applications using Rational Software Modeler v7.0.
   

Duration

 1 Day
   
Course Abstract
This course will integrate a combination of instructor-led discussions and interactive workshops to assist in the design of systems using the Rational Unified Process for Systems Engineering and Model-Driven Development or Model-Driven Architecture using IBM Rational Modeling Tools. This seminar will focus on the Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.0 model-driven design and development tools for creating well-architected systems, applications, and services. This course is highlighted by the following: Describe the basic features of Rational Software Modeler, using template models and model building blocks, discussion of all of the UML diagrams available in Rational Software Modeler, drawing system-related diagrams to model systems and describes team development best practices with Rational Software Modeler.
   
Objectives

Upon conclusion participants will have acquired these skills:
