Tools for AUML

To be useful and successful, the FIPA AUML effort encourages rapid commercial adoption of the specifications it publishes. Companies that are interested in this, please send an email to the Contact, below.

Currently, the Modeling TC is considering the following tools that might support Agent UML:

1. Visio, Microsoft, not open source, $$, user extension
2. Dia, Dia, open source, free, unknown extension mechanism, will not extend for UML 2
3. OpenTool, TNI Valiosys, $$, unknown extension mechanism
4. Poseidon, Gentleware, $$, unknown extension mechanism
5. IBM Rational Rose, IBM, $$$$, vendor extension?
6. MetaEdit, Metacase, $$, user extension
7. XFig, open source, free, unknown extension mechanism
8. ArgoUML, open source, free, unknown extension mechanism
9. Together, now owned by Borland, $$$, unknown extension mechanism
10. MagicDraw UML, MagicDraw, $$, user extension
11. System Modeling Workbench, open source, free, unknown extension mechanism
12. Fujaba, open source, free, unknown extension mechanism

Objects by Design have a good list of UML tools on their Web site at

("user extension" means that we can write the extension with out vendor involvement;
"vendor extension" means that the vendor must make the changes.)
