Abstract
We describe our experiences with the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in a job floor control system project. Firstly, we analyze what is new for the daily project work when using UML. The powerfulness and the extensibility of the UML, its changing character at the moment, and insufficiencies of the available tools make conventions a very important aspect of UML use in the practice. We give some examples of naming and structuring conventions and show how workarounds influence modeling.
