Using the unified modeling language (UML) to design Jiro technology dynamic services

JiroT Technology is an implementation of the Federated Management Architecture developed by Sun Microsystems Incorporated (SMI). It defines middleware to support the development of distributed system management applications. Since it has not yet gained the widespread popularity of other Java technologies there has been little published discussion of how architects and designers can take advantage of the specialized features it offers. In this paper, some of those key features are examined with respect to using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) during the development process.
