O uso da cor em diagramas na Engenharia de Software não é novidade, em especial na Linguagem Unificada de Modelagem (UML), que consiste em um conjunto de quinze diagramas utilizados para documentar e especificar a complexidade de um software. Porém, a aplicação da cor muitas vezes é feita de forma aleatória ficando a cargo da subjetividade do projetista ou dos softwares utilizados para o desenho destes diagramas. O presente artigo aborda o uso das cores no diagrama de classes da UML segundo o modelo proposto por Coad, Lefebvre e De Luca (1999), que aplica a cor a partir de uma prática profissional utilizando post-its. O objetivo deste artigo é realizar uma análise descritiva da aplicação da cor para demonstrar a importância desta não só para melhorar a estética, mas também como símbolo, facilitando a leitura, compreensão e o estabelecimento de relações no diagrama de classes.*****The use of color in diagrams in Software Engineering is not new, especially in the Unified Modeling Language (UML), which consists of a set of fifteen diagrams used to document and specify the complexity of software. However, the application of color is often done in a random way, being in charge of the subjectivity of the designer or the software used to design these diagrams. This paper discusses the use of colors in the UML class diagram according to the model proposed by Coad, Lefebvre and De Luca (1999), who apply color from a professional practice using post-its. The purpose of this article is to perform a descriptive analysis of the application of color to demonstrate the importance of this not only to improve aesthetics but also as a symbol, facilitating reading, understanding and establishing relationships in the class diagram.

Purpose The development of context-aware applications in ubiquitous environments depends not only on the user interactions but also on several context parameters. The handling of these parameters is a fundamental problem in these systems. The key purpose of this work is to enrich the unified modeling language (UML) class diagram with new constructs to provide a universal model capable of coping with the context-awareness concerns. Design/methodology/approach The authors provide a review of existing context handling approaches. Afterward, they relied on the UML extensibility mechanisms to propose a heavyweight extension for the UML class diagram. This generic approach allows describing the different context parameters since the modeling phase. Findings Existing solutions for context handling apply the contextual constraints on finished applications or tend to be dependent on a specific development process. This paper presents a solution based on UML, which allows dealing with context since the modeling phase, and independently of development processes. This proposal is implemented as an eclipse editor and illustrated through a case study in the healthcare field. Originality/value This paper addresses the problem of context handling, and it presents a review of the foremost existing solutions. The paper also presents a heavyweight extension for the UML class diagram, which consists in enriching it with additional constructs, capable of monitoring how applications are linked to context parameters and how the values of these parameters may affect the application behavior.
