Translative elaboration

Just opened up a new blank document to kick-off my analysis report on xtUML, even though the deadline is in December I’ve already started to see a draft in my head, in other words it is time to put it in print.

One of the more appealing differences with xtUML compared to other methods is the shift from an “elaborative” approach to a “translative” one. An issue though, for me, is that working translative on a systems engineering level is far from transparent… the technique seems much more easy to understand when discussing software engineering.

Ah, what wouldn’t I give for someone to bounce ideas with at the office today… any takers?
