摘要：
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a language for the specification, visualization, and documentation of object-oriented software systems [The Unified Modeling Language User Guide, 1998]. However, UML cannot describe in an explicit manner the mobility requirements needed for modeling mobile agent-based software systems. In this paper, we present M-UML, our proposed extension to UML covering all aspects of mobility at the various views and diagrams of UML. The use of M-UML is illustrated using a simple mobile voting system example. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
