Hazardous Locations: Classes, Divisions and Groups
General-purpose electrical equipment can cause explosions in certain atmospheres. Equipment used in areas where explosive concentrations of dusts or vapors may exist must be equipped with special wiring and other electrical equipment for safety purposes. Hazardous (classified) locations such as these might exist in areas such as aircraft hangars, gasoline stations, paint-finishing locations or agricultural areas such as grain bins. In order to make sure the correct equipment is used, these environments have been broken down into classes, divisions and groups to more specifically identify the hazards.
|I Gasses, Vapors and Liquids (Art. 501)
|A. Acetylene
B. Hydrogen, etc.
C. Ether, etc.
D. Hydrocarbons, Fuels, Solvents, etc.
|Normally explosive and hazardous.
|Not normally present in an explosive concentration (but may accidentally exist).
|II Dusts (Art. 502)
|E. Metal Dusts (conductive* and explosive)
F. Carbon Dusts (Some are conductive* and all are explosive)
G. Flour, Starch, Grain, Combustible Plastic or Chemical Dust (explosive)
|Ignitable quantities of dust that is normally or may be, in suspension or conductive dust may be present.
|Dust not normally suspended in an ignitable concentration (but may accidentally exist). Dust layers are present.
|III Fibers and Flyings (Art. 503)
|Textiles, Woodworking, etc. (easily ignitable, but not likely to be explosive)
|Handled or used in manufacturing.
|Stored or handled in storage (exclusive of manufacturing).
|*NOTE: Electrically conductive dusts are dusts with a resistivity less than 105 OHM-centimeter.
Hazardous locations or areas where flammable gases or vapors are/could become present in concentrations suitable to produce explosive and/or ignitable mixtures. Class I locations are further divided into 2 divisions:
Class I, Division 1: There are three different situations that could exist to classify an area as a Class I, Division 1 location.
- When the atmosphere of an area or location is expected to contain explosive mixtures of gases, vapors, or liquids during normal working operations. (This is the most common Class I, Div. 1)
- An area where ignitable concentrations frequently exist because of repair or maintenance operations.
- The release of ignitable concentrations of gases or vapors due to equipment breakdown, while at the same time causing electrical equipment failure.
Class I, Division 2: One of the following three situations must exist in order for an area to be considered a Class I, Division 2 location.
- An area where flammable liquids and gases are handled, but not expected to be in explosive concentrations. However, the possibility for these concentrations to exist might occur if there was an accidental rupture or other unexpected incident.
- An area where ignitable gases or vapors are normally prevented from accumulating by positive mechanical ventilation, yet could exist in ignitable quantities if there was a failure in the ventilation systems.
- Areas adjacent to Class I, Division 1 locations where it is possible for ignitable concentrations of gas/vapors to come into this area because there isn't proper ventilation.
Class II hazardous locations are areas where combustible dust, rather than gases or liquids, may be present in varying hazardous concentrations.
Class II, Division 1: The following situations could exist, making an area become a Class II, Division 1 locations:
- Where combustible dust is present in the air under normal operating conditions in such a quantity as to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures. This could be on a continuous, intermittent, or periodic basis.
- Where an ignitable and/or explosive mixture could be produced if a mechanical failure or abnormal machinery operation occurs.
- Where electrically conductive dusts in hazardous concentrations are present.
Class II, Division 2: Class II, Division 2 locations exist in response to one of the following conditions:
- Where combustible dust is present but not normally in the air in concentrations high enough to be explosive or ignitable.
- If dust becomes suspended in the air due to equipment malfunctions and if dust accumulation may become ignitable by abnormal operation or failure of electronic equipment.
Class III hazardous locations contain easily ignitable fibers or flyings, but the concentration of these fibers or flyings are not suspended in the air in such quantities that would produce ignitable mixtures.
Class III, Division 1: These locations are areas where easily ignitable fibers or items that produce ignitable flyings are handled, manufactured or used in some kind of a process.
Class III, Division 2: These locations are areas where easily ignitable fibers are stored or handled.
Class I and Class II hazardous locations are further divided into groups: Groups A-G for gases, vapors and liquids. Groups A-D relate to Class I environments. Groups E-G describe different dusts that may be encountered in a Class II environment. The actual determination of what group a chemical or dust would fall into is determined by the specific properties of that chemical or dust.
Requirements for Equipment used in Hazardous Locations:
The specific hazardous atmosphere must be considered when deciding what type of equipment to use in those areas. The equipment must be designed and tested to ensure it will perform properly and not cause additional hazards in that environment. According to 29 CFR 1910.307(b)(2)(ii), "Equipment shall be marked to show the class, group and operating temperature or temperature range, based on operating in a 40°C ambient temperature for which it is approved." The National Electric Code (NEC), NFPA 70, has set guidelines for the design of equipment installed in hazardous locations.
Equipment for Class I Hazardous Locations
The equipment used in Class I hazardous locations are housed in enclosures designed to contain any explosion that might occur if hazardous vapors were to enter the enclosure and ignite. These closures are also designed to cool and vent the products of this explosion as to prevent the surrounding environment from exploding. The lighting fixtures used in Class I hazardous locations must be able to contain an explosion as well as maintain a surface temperature lower than the ignition temperature of the surrounding hazardous atmosphere.
There are some exceptions to the marking requirement set up by OSHA under 29 CFR 1910.307(b)(2)(ii)(B). According to OSHA, "Fixed lighting fixtures marked for use in Class I, Div. 2 locations only, need not be marked to indicate the group." Also, fixed general-purpose equipment in Class I hazardous locations, other than lighting fixtures, do not need to be marked with the class, group, division or operating temperature, but must still be acceptable for the specific class, division and group for which it is in.
Equipment for Class II Hazardous Locations
Class II hazardous locations make use of equipment designed to seal out dust. The enclosures are not intended to contain an internal explosion, but rather to eliminate the source of ignition so no explosion can occur within the enclosure. These enclosures are also tested to make sure they do not overheat when totally covered with dust, lint or flyings.
Again, OSHA has an exception for the marking requirements for equipment used in Class II hazardous locations. According to 29 CFR 1910.307 (b)(2)(ii)(D) permanently fixed dust-tight equipment, other than lighting fixtures, which is acceptable for use in Class II, Division 2 hazardous locations does not need to be marked with the class, group, division or operating temperature.
Equipment for Class III Hazardous Locations
Equipment used in Class III hazardous locations needs to be designed to prevent fibers and flyings from entering the housing. It also needs to be constructed in such a way as to prevent the escape of sparks or burning materials. It must also operate below the point of combustion. The same exception for the Class II hazardous locations holds true for the Class III hazardous locations-fixed, dust-tight equipment, other than lighting fixtures, does not need to be marked with the class, group, division or operating temperature, as long as it is acceptable for Class III hazardous locations.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is an international organization that strives to create standards to help promote international trade. They use a series of zones rather than classes and divisions to classify hazardous areas. The table below compares the NEC classifications to the equivalent IEC classifications:
Explosion proof: a term frequently encountered when looking at products and wiring for hazardous areas. This term is usually seen when describing Class I Division 1 equipment. There are basically two requirements for components to be considered explosion proof for Class I Division 1 atmospheres. First, the device must be able to withstand an internal explosion if it should occur and secondly, it must work to prevent the spread of the internal explosion to the surrounding saturated atmosphere. This is typically accomplished by joints and closures built into the actual device. The devices themselves may be damaged, but they are designed so as not to allow the explosion or other possible sources of ignition to reach the hazardous atmosphere.
Intrinsically safe: another term that is often seen when looking for products to use in hazardous locations. According to the Fire Protection Handbook, intrinsically safe is defined as "...equipment and wiring incapable of releasing sufficient electrical energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture." Or simply stated, equipment that is intrinsically safe is incapable of igniting the atmosphere surrounding it.
|Can I use a piece of equipment approved for use in a Division 1 hazardous location in a Division 2 hazardous location?
|Yes. If equipment has been approved for use in a Division 1 hazardous location, it can be used in a Division 2 hazardous location, providing it is in the same class and group.
|Can equipment approved for a Class I hazardous location be used in a Class II hazardous location?
|No. Equipment used in Class I and Class II hazardous locations are made for different purposes. Equipment approved for Class I hazardous locations must contain an internal explosion, while Class II approved equipment must seal out dust. They are not interchangeable.
|Gas or Vapor
|Class I Division 1
|Zone 0
|Class I Division 2
|Zone 1
|Class II Division 2
|Class II Division 2
|Fibers or Flyings
|Class III Division 1
|Class III Division 2

Red Sox skid their way home
SEATTLE (AP) -- The Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox look like two teams headed in opposite directions.
Kevin Millwood pitched six stingy innings to win for the first time in 5½ weeks and Seattle beat the staggering Red Sox 2-1 Wednesday night, handing Boston its eighth defeat in nine games.
The last-place Mariners (67-71) won for the 11th time in 14 home games and matched their win total from last year with 24 games remaining.
That is progress for a team that's had two consecutive losing seasons and hasn't been to the playoffs since 2001.
"It should mean something to them," second-year Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "These guys have worked hard to get better and they are better. And they're going to keep getting better."
Dustin Ackley hit a two-run single in the fourth to back Millwood (5-12), who allowed four hits and one run in his first victory since July 28.
The right-hander had gone 1-8 since May 21.
Millwood walked three and struck out three. Tom Wilhelmsen worked the ninth for his 24th save in 27 opportunities.
Boston, one of baseball's top teams for a decade, went 1-8 on a miserable road trip for the club's worst West Coast swing since a 1-8 debacle in September 1989.
"This was not a good road trip, obviously," said embattled manager Bobby Valentine, whose fourth-place team is 10-24 since Aug. 1.
"One of the worst I've ever experienced."
Eric Thames opened the fourth with a bloop single to left.Mike Carp walked and Casper Wells singled through the left side, loading the bases with nobody out.
"The walk hurt a little," Valentine said. "The base hit by Casper could have been at somebody but it was right in the hole."

Guest Access to DUStory Files Section (List as of 4 Jun 08)
In message 57, I provided a temporary username "duseeker" and password "lurnnow" so that people could read the Files and use the Links without having to join Yahoo or the Group. I have, however, gotten a couple of messages from "duseeker" telling me that the links to the files do not work. That's because a temporary user must use the username and password to Sign In to the group and then go to the Files section on the left hand side of the page. If you click on Files, the links within Files do work. Also, unfortunately, I can not send a reply to these well meaning folks who want to learn more about some of the charlatans like Doug Rokke because "duseeker" is not their e-mail address and they have not given me theirs.

On sat 1-30 lost TI lime green buzz in creek on 17 has name and reward
I was in the creek around 3:00pm, but I did not see it. The water was badly stained though, I may have went right by it. :(
Yea it couldn't be seen when i tried it would be left of that bridge headin to 18, i appreciate the feedback!
ilya newell January 30 at 12:45pm
Threw a blue Envy pin high in river on 18. Email on bottom. Reward if found.
Found my buzz there. Sorry I forgot about yours in NY excitement of getting mine back.
At least you got your Buzzz out
found yout envy, ill pm you
Disc return, generous reward - thanks Ilya
Eric Manidok January 23 at 3:28pm
Found an aqua md2 gremlin on 14, has an ace on it but no name, anybody?
Brandon Dub January 22 at 9:07am
Forgot to post this before.... Lost 2 black wizards with the Detroit D on them. Went in behind the basket on 11. Lost them during the ice bowl. Would love to get them back.
Ben Jackson January 21 at 10:13pm
by all these lost disc posts I'm guessing it's not a good idea to play FF
It isn't a disc eating course. A narrow stream comes into play on a few holes. O
Many of them came from the recent "Ice Bowl' where we had some heavy duty wind
Winter is the only time that you will "Lose" a disc here. It is a great course. When the banks around the river fill up with snow its pretty impossible to get discs without either going into the water or having a retreiver.
I know the course like the back of my hand, Just haven't played in the snow since that storm in November.
Worst course in the country
Christian Doman January 19 at 7:04pm
Put my green Z Force into the water, 30 feet short of the pin on 18. A3 stamp and my pdga #34999 on the back. Remuneration negotiable.
Joe Levell January 19 at 7:01am
???????????? Man, all these discs being found & no bright colored dyed Buzzz ss with my info on it ???????????
A lot of the time it depends on who is doing the finding. Not everyone is honest.
^exactly....sorry joe, i wish i could have got yours back too, i found many discs walking through lately with my waders which now have a hole in the foot damn near giving me frostbite the last 2 times i went in, trust me if i found it you WOULD be getting it back
Im still missing my $$$ wizard that has all my info on it and b2b aces, no one has called me spite all the discs i have literally gone out of my way, just to find and return to their owners
Big thanks Jay B for getting my valk back. Bauman told me you got your foot wet in the process. Really appreciate it. I owe you one for sure.
No prob, youre welcome, yea my waders took a dump, i need to get a new pair before i can save anymore discs
Um ya good thing you got your 2 chain avair back , you can keep the disc you owe my son he's all set.
jr has a red starfire basket high on 4 in creek if anyone happens to go looking.
Skyler, I know what you mean. I lost one 1st day at Worlds & thought with 750 players I'd get it back - but no!! --- Jay, thanks for all the effort - is there any way to repair the waders? i have a pair with a hole also --- Kevin, getting my Aviar back before somthin *^@#@*& happened was huge - what does Lil Eggy like to throw (I wanna show him it pays to do the right thing)
Jeff Hulet January 18 at 2:10am
I saw the "Jay B." was looking, so I thought I would too. I found a Purple disc near hole 18#. It was on the bank though, but had dirt and scum on it ....making me believe it was in the creek at some point. Tell me what it is and I will meet you, oh and it has a crack in the center too.
I think someone was looking for a purple destroyer
Yeah I lost a purple Avery Jenkins star destroyer on that hole during the ice bowl.
Not a Destroyer...sorry.
The creek was very dirty and cold. I may have walked right by or even over discs. I checked every time I thought I stepped on something to see what it was. Maybe in the spring the water will be clearer and I can find more. I do give them all back when I find the owners.
Chester Brown III January 17 at 3:16pm
Left a 2008 feldberg champ boss in the river about %75 of the way to the basket on 18. It was visible but needed a retriever. Your choice of finders fee or disc for its return. Doesn't have my info on it.
Apparently you are going to find all of my Bosses. Thanks again Jay!
What color is it btw? Guess 2j lost one as well with no info on it
Orange. Flatter top.
Jeff Bauman January 17 at 8:35am
Left a red thunder chicken in the water nerar the basket on 4
I got an orange Daedalus in there tooooo
Thunderchicken found...and an orange disc with your name on it ron
Woot! Thanks Jay! Many positive vibes coming your way!!!
Thank you!
Mike Walker Jr put one in 20 ft short of pin too
Ron Jacobs January 16 at 5:02pm
Lost another one on hole 4, short of the basket.
Ron Jacobs January 15 at 6:25am
Lost me flat top glow KC Roc with the air force stamp last night in the dark on hole 9, it's probably close to 10s fairway. Cash for its return!
found it, ill text you
^good man....glad to see someone else returning discs to their owner
Both of you guys, Thank you ^^
Thats why i go out of my way to get there first thing in the morning the days after events, i dont get anything out of it unless someone decides to give a reward which i NEVER expect from anyone, i just hate thinking how the casuals would find them and care less about returning anything to anyone
Thanks to all 3 of you. I really appreciate it!
I know I have gone to FF at least a half dozen times at daybreak to get a disc out I lost at league. I am glad I did because I know my discs better than those who might find them and throw them in their trunk thinking they are not that "1st run Destroyer" or equivalent in value.
Disc is back home with Ron. Thanks for the reward discs, very generous!
Ron Jacobs January 14 at 5:37pm
Does anyone have any lights I could buy? I can't find any of mine...
John Hamel January 14 at 1:55pm
Tee pads were icy & snow packed yesterday hopefully they melted some today for league tonight
I've got a shovel and a bag of ice melt in my trunk just in case ;-)
I have some salt too will get some of the tees before league if needed
With all the rain we are suppose to get tomorrow I'm wondering if the tee pads will flood. Ill be at Firefighters early Saturday to check on the pads and see if we may need to dig out some trenches so the water can run off. Bobis!
brent moreno "WPD" January 13 at 3:49am
lost a blueteam stony destroyer on 4 double stamped
I've got a red with green team stony stamp, believe max weight if u wouldd like that one for a replacement.
that's the twin to my wallhanger!!!!
Thanks jay
Nate Buban January 12 at 1:38pm

Hoping karma returns my green $$$ wizard for all these discs i found today
Did you happen to find a blue Pig? Or an Envy?
I know Justin Hundo lost a nice green Champ disc on Hole 4 a couple of weeks ago. I also know Nate Buban lost one on 4 as well this past Saturday.
any chance there was a white Atom, black APX, or black pumpkin ROC?
pink Halloween hyzer TH
White atom and hh th found but no black apx
No blue pig or envy
And no black roc either
awesome thanks
Did you check Square Lake?

The beta version of UML 2.5 is now available at http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.5/Beta1/.  Potential users and implementers are encouraged to read it and raise issues for consideration by the Finalization Task Force.  Issues may be logged at http://www.omg.org/report_issue.htm.

Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxUML 2.4.1 now releasedhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2011/10/24/uml-2-4-1-now-released.aspx2011-10-24T08:57:40Z2011-10-24T08:57:40Z
When UML 2.4 was released we discovered an issue that meant it was impossible to interchange StructuredActivityNodes reliably. StructuredActivityNodes are executable nodes in an activity diagram that are also groups.  UML 2.4 doesn't specify clearly whether they should be serialized as nodes or as groups; as a consequence, different tools do different things.  In UML 2.4.1 this ambiguity is remedied by serializing them in their own collection. UML 2.4.1 can be found at http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/2.4.1/ and all of the machine-readable files are at http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/20110701/.

This is the first time in the history of UML that a complete machine-readable definition of the language is available online, defined as an instance of itself, and with no dangling references.  Only of interest to UML aficionados maybe, but a milestone nonetheless.

Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxBack from Salt Lake City: now we have a plan for more flexible UML profileshttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2011/06/27/back-from-salt-lake-city-now-we-have-a-plan-for-more-flexible-uml-profiles.aspx2011-06-27T17:09:22Z2011-06-27T17:09:22Z
Last week I was at the OMG meeting in Salt Lake City. A high point of the meeting was issuing a Request for Proposals for a new "metamodel extension facility", which could in time replace the current UML profile capability with a better designed and more flexible mechanism. The new capability should allow the profile writer to select a subset of UML, including the possibility of choosing particular properties from a metaclass, and define a profile as a new metamodel that extends that subset. So, if the profile writer wants to define Class without the properties "visibility" and "isActive" they will be able to do so. They should also be able to define new notations for UML, if they want, although this is obviously a feature that needs to be used sensibly.

Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxPreparing for the next OMG meetinghttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2011/06/03/preparing-for-the-next-omg-meeting.aspx2011-06-03T14:24:11Z2011-06-03T14:24:11Z
I'll be off to Salt Lake City in a couple of weeks for the next OMG meeting. One thing I'm going to try and do is get a Request for Proposals issued for a Metamodel Extension Facility that will improve and extend the current UML Profiles capability. UML Profiles are quite popular, but the mechanism for defining them is really not very well defined, which leads to problems of interoperability and general misunderstandings about their scope. We'll also be meeting to work on UML 2.5, which is going too slowly for my liking, but is making forward progress. Aside from that I'll be working on the finalization of SMOF and attending Architecture Board meetings.

Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxUML Progress Reporthttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2011/03/28/uml-progress-report.aspx2011-03-28T13:47:35Z2011-03-28T13:47:35Z
I just finished participating in the OMG meeting in Arlington. Our work on UML 2.5 is moving along, although more slowly than I would like. We've got a decent scheme for generating substantial portions of the specification directly from the metamodel. A few people – including me – are re-writing chapters, and we have 6 done so far. At this meeting we made some valuable decisions about how to organize the chapters, and how to resolve controversies and inconsistencies. Most likely the end result will be published in 2012.

From an end-users' point of view, UML 2.5 will be exactly the same as UML 2.4; so you might wonder why we are doing this. The goal is to simplify and reorganize the written specification so that we have a fighting chance of refactoring it, modernizing it, and generally making it more useful. It's an investment to reduce architectural debt, without which any significant new development of UML would be intractable.

Alan Wills has created a new sample that pulls together several of the capabilities of our Visualization and Modeling SDK. The sample illustrates:

How to associate data with any UML element by using References.

How to add decorators to UML elements

How to add rules to respond to changes in a UML model

How to define menu commands for UML

How to handle the user dragging various kinds of object onto a UML diagram:

Project Items from Solution Explorer

Files from Windows Explorer

Shapes from other UML diagrams

Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxUML 2.4 is completehttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2011/01/26/uml-2-4-is-complete.aspx2011-01-26T11:46:45Z2011-01-26T11:46:45Z
Finally we have completed all of the technical processes for creating UML 2.4. Now it just has to go through the OMG's voting procedures and, assuming it passes, will be formally issued as the latest UML specification.

We've given a lot of attention to making the machine-readable specification of UML 2.4 solid. That does not mean it is perfect, by any means, but it is a lot better than any earlier version. The specification of UML 2.4 is itself a UML 2.4 model serialized using XMI 2.4, which can be imported by any UML 2.4-compliant tool.

We've now started working on UML 2.5. From an end-user and tool-vendor perspective, UML 2.5 should be the same as UML 2.4. The main point of UML 2.5 is to greatly simplify the specification itself, so that future improvements become tractable. Additional goals of UML 2.5 are to formally specify what diagrams are valid, to correct inaccurate constraints, and to fill in missing ones. I'll only be satisfied if we reduce the total length of the specification by at least half.

Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxUML 3 dilemmashttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2010/12/13/uml-3-dilemmas.aspx2010-12-13T16:41:31Z2010-12-13T16:41:31Z
I'm back from the OMG meeting in Santa Clara. We talked a lot about the future of UML. Just about everybody is agreed that we need to create UML 3, but there are some real practical dilemmas. Currently UML is complicated and it can take a lot of expertise to apply it successfully to any particular situation: "Jack-of-all-trades and master of none". OO class modelling is its original domain, but since then it has been bent to apply to many situations including business modelling, requirements, executable models for real time systems, and as a basis for new languages such as SysML. But even when applied to OO modelling it is not a particularly good fit to any particular OO programming language: C#, C++, and Java are all poorly represented using "vanilla" UML class diagrams.

The way to resolve this is to build a flexible kernel of very fundamental concepts, and provide rich features for extension into multiple domains. The kernel should make as few semantic commitments as possible: for example, no commitment to the meaning of visibility, no distinction between "structural" and "behavioural" features of a classifier, flexible concepts of parameterization, and so on. For backwards compatibility, existing UML can be defined through one or more profiles or viewpoints on this kernel, which will also enable extensions into many new domains and better matching to existing domains.

The main dilemma is that constructing such a kernel may not carry sufficient business value to get it adopted on its own. There is a lot of investment in UML as it is, and we need to do enough of UML 3 that the new features provide compelling value. Customers tell me that they would really value deep integration of UML with managed and native code, Entity Framework, Windows Workflow Foundation and other aspects of our platform. That's a good incentive for me: define UML 3 so that a first class .Net Profile for UML can be deeply integrated into our tools. I'll expect other stakeholders to be able to do the same for their platforms, programming and modelling languages.

I'm currently hurtling through the French countryside at some significant fraction of the speed of sound on the Eurostar train from Paris to London. I'm returning from giving a keynote talk at Model Driven Day. I spoke about UML – Past, Present and Future. Despite having to put up with my English – my French is ok for ordering a sandwich, but wholly insufficient for conveying the ironies needed for talking about UML - the audience seemed receptive and what feedback I received was good.

I met several old friends, including Jean Bézivin and Philippe Desfray. Many people introduced themselves to me and wanted to talk about model-driven topics. Several of them were keen users of DSL Tools and asked about our future plans. Some were UML users.

I asked everybody I spoke to what they really value in model driven development tools. These are some of the key points I got from the replies:

Being able to integrate models tightly with the code

Being able to integrate models in different domains, e.g. business models and UML models

Being able to reuse good ideas from UML in custom DSLs without having to deal with the whole thing

Being able to describe and validate system architectures

It was a very informative and enjoyable day.

Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxUse cases for UMLhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2010/11/18/use-cases-for-uml.aspx2010-11-18T11:04:27Z2010-11-18T11:04:27Z
I had a conversation recently in which the following three use cases for UML were suggested:

UML as a precise graphical representation of existing programming languages

UML as a higher level full life-cycle development language

UML as a means to communicate between stakeholders

Today UML is not particularly good for any of these use cases because it is trying to fulfil all of them at the same time.

Which one do you think is most important?

Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxThe story of UMLhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2010/11/15/the-story-of-uml.aspx2010-11-15T10:12:25Z2010-11-15T10:12:25ZJean Bézivin is telling the story of UML on his blog. His post on How to choose the good ingredients to get a good UML? makes some really key points about what happened in 1996. I guess I'm glad that we managed to get OCL into UML, but I remain disappointed that we never got "modelling schemes" in. They would have made such a difference to the past 14 years.

Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxUML for mainstream developershttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2010/10/19/uml-for-mainstream-developers.aspx2010-10-19T11:49:55Z2010-10-19T11:49:55Z
I'd like to explore the idea that UML could be made more useful to mainstream developers if it were redesigned so that a UML model could directly represent the semantics and terminology of modern programming languages. For example, if you are working in C#, instead of having Attributes and Operations in your class diagram, you would be offered Fields, Properties, Methods and Events. Instead of Features you would see Members. You'd be able to see direct representations of delegates, lambda expressions, constants, variables, and blocks. Instead of Packages you would see Namespaces and, separately, Assemblies. All of this would be fully integrated across structural (class, package, component) and behavioural (sequence, activity, state) diagrams. In a heterogeneous world you'd be able to define models of your systems at a large scale independently of implementation technology, and be able to drill into the detail of particular technologies for different elements of your system. There would be diagrammatic counterparts for scripting languages and web development technologies.

What do you think? Tell me your experiences.

Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxBack from the OMG meeting in Cambridgehttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2010/09/27/back-from-the-omg-meeting-in-cambridge.aspx2010-09-27T16:29:00Z2010-09-27T16:29:00Z
I just arrived back from the Object Management Group's September meeting in Cambridge (the one across the river from Boston, not the one in UK where I went to university and go to work).

I want to make UML more relevant to mainstream developers and a better match for modern platforms, so that it and its derivatives can play seamlessly and add value to modern development environments. We're making decent progress with this. UML 2.4 is almost finished, UML 2.5 is in the works, and discussions for the future of UML and its associated technologies past 2.5 are well under way.

UML 2.4 has cleaned up the UML metamodel considerably, and also clarified some ambiguous constructs that inhibited effective implementation, especially around sequence diagrams and profiles. UML 2.4 will be aligned with related standards MOF 2.4 and XMI 2.4. The end result will be that UML 2.4 will be defined in itself, which considerably simplifies the task of implementing it.

The submission team for UML 2.5 has been established. There now exists a simplified metamodel based on UML 2.4 with all "package merge" removed. The detailed work of re-writing the simplified specification around that metamodel will take place during 2011. This should make it a lot clearer what UML actually is.

SMOF (MOF support for Semantic Structures) was accepted for adoption as a standard. This is an important element because it will help enable the eventual refactoring/simplification/unbundling of UML, hence enabling it to be a better match to modern technologies. It now goes into finalization (which I am co-chairing), and should become a published standard towards the end of 2011.

We're still working on the roadmap past UML 2.5, but I believe that one of the first things on that roadmap should be a replacement of the UML Profile facility with a better-integrated capability based on SMOF. How UML profiles actually work is a mess, and although some of them are increasingly popular (SysML, SoaML, UPDM, and more) it is increasingly difficult to manage the complexity and confusion that results from the poor definition of the profile mechanism. Fixing and enhancing this will really help UML derivatives to take off.

Back in 1994 I co-authored a book on modelling with my colleague John Daniels. We called our approach "Syntropy". The book has been out of print for several years now. Sales were modest, but it was quite influential. The Object Constraint Language, which was developed at IBM by my team when I worked there later in the 1990s ended up as part of the UML and was heavily influenced by ideas from the book.

John has now made the book openly available online at http://www.syntropy.co.uk/syntropy/designing-object-systems.pdf. Please let me know if you have a look, and what you think.
Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxWhy I signed up for SEMAThttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2010/04/02/why-i-signed-up-for-semat.aspx2010-04-02T16:28:07Z2010-04-02T16:28:07Z
I've recently become a signatory to SEMAT (Software Engineering Method and Theory). They've been trying to get me to sign up for some time but I resisted so far. Why did I change my mind?

Originally, SEMAT was branded as "a revolution in software engineering". I didn't like that: I'm old enough to have seen plenty of "revolutions" come and go. I did not want to go down the revolution road again. I decided to wait and see.

Now SEMAT has had its first workshop and seems to have made a good start. The revolutionary language has vanished. People that I greatly respect are involved. SEMAT now starts to look like an opportunity to make a difference.

Here is a quote from the workshop report that I really like, attributed to the late Robin Milner: "Language is the raw material of software engineering, rather as water is the raw material for hydraulic engineering".

This week, Ivar asked me again: so this time I joined. Let's see where it leads.
Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxAnother OMG meeting is overhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2010/03/26/another-omg-meeting-is-over.aspx2010-03-26T17:45:57Z2010-03-26T17:45:57Z
I've just finished the OMG meeting in Jacksonville. I got my first taste of the Board of Directors: it was bigger than I thought, but otherwise much as I expected. We had interesting procedural and technical moves to get some standards through the Architecture Board: the way that some tools generate XML schemas from UML models leaves much to be desired, especially when you discover the problems at the last minute.

For me the most productive meetings were the UML 2.4 Revision Task Force, and the Architectural Ecosystem SIG. We're busily fixing issues with XMI interoperability in preparation for the UML Specification Simplification which will happen during the latter half of this year; and we're working out facilities for enabling integration of different modelling languages and sources of information, both inside the OMG and elsewhere. I am hoping that these facilities will eventually enable us to "unbundle" UML, i.e. to treat it as a loose federation of related modelling languages rather than the complicated monolith it is today.

I fly home this weekend. Back there I will have some UML issue resolutions to write up, a talk to give about the role of modelling standards in Visual Studio, and some planning to do before my holiday at the end of next week.
Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxInterviews with Ivar Jacobsonhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2010/03/01/interviews-with-ivar-jacobson.aspx2010-03-01T12:10:10Z2010-03-01T12:10:10Z
Channel 9 has published seven interesting interviews with Ivar Jacobson, in which he gives an insider's perspective on the history and development of UML, as well as promoting some of the things he is working on now. There is some interesting historical background on UML. Now, Ivar sees UML as making a comeback, and names Microsoft – and me - as a main instigator.
It is a pity that the sound is very quiet for some of the interviewer's questions.
Part 1: Ivar talks about his current work, some of his latest ideas and his passion. He also reveals why he is wearing pink socks!
http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/buzzfrog/Ivar-Jacobson-Part-1/
Part 2: The inside story of the history of UML; how did it all start? Who was involved? How did it become a standard and a success?
http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/buzzfrog/Interview-with-Ivar-Jacobson-Part-2/
Part 3: The fall of UML, and how the success faded away; what happened and why? Where did the critic come from? Ivar provides his take to the story.
http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/buzzfrog/Interview-with-Ivar-Jacobson-Part-3/
Part 4: The come-back of UML . What happens now, what is good and what still needs to improve? How will we use UML moving forward?
http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/buzzfrog/Interview-with-Ivar-Jacobson-Part-4/
Part 5: Fashion – how does it affect the software development industry? What can we do to change that? How is Ivar trying to change the industry?
http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/buzzfrog/Ivar-Jacobson-Part-5/
Part 6: Being smart - What does that mean and how can we do to become smarter? Learn about what Ivar means about "smart cases".
http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/buzzfrog/Ivar-Jacobson-Part-6/
Part 7: The Future – what will happen in 5-10 years? Ivar talks about how it is now possible to leverage existing ideas through modern platforms and tools, that software needs to be built for people and how standards for both platforms and frameworks will make it easier to work together.

I shall be speaking at the Microsoft Architect Insight Conference on 31st March, soon after arriving back from the next OMG meeting in Jacksonville. My topic will be "The Role of Modeling Standards in Visual Studio 2010" and I'm planning to talk about the future development of UML and how it is used for visualizing and developing software designs within Visual Studio 2010.
Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxVisual Studio 2010 and .Net Framework Beta 2 is availablehttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2009/10/20/visual-studio-2010-and-net-framework-beta-2-is-available.aspx2009-10-20T09:17:33Z2009-10-20T09:17:33Z
We've all been working very hard on beta 2 which is now available – see Cameron's announcement. I've been particularly working on the API for creating, accessing and updating UML models.

Cameron has also started a series of posts entitled Modeling and Visualization in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate that will describe many of the features of forthcoming product.
Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxReflections on the OMG meeting in San Antoniohttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2009/09/28/reflections-on-the-omg-meeting-in-san-antonio.aspx2009-09-28T15:05:37Z2009-09-28T15:05:37Z
I got back from San Antonio a week ago. The jetlag was bad this time; I'd been in the USA for two weeks and it's taken me a week to get back to normal. San Antonio was a nice place to go. The river walk was very enjoyable, and we had some great meals looking at it. I'd just installed Windows 7 on my laptop, and I must say I've been enjoying that – it was a seamless process and just about everything seems to work better.

The UML roadmap achieved several important things this time. First, we had a productive workshop on the Sunday, where many of the RFI respondents presented their views on where UML should be going. There was a lot of agreement that UML is too complicated and we need to find a way to simplify it for normal people. But nobody wants to destabilize the market by making major changes to UML, so we need to be measured on how we go about simplifying it. We agreed that the specification itself is too cumbersome and we need to make it easier to maintain, by reorganizing the document and making better use of tools: so we kicked off a working group to do that. And pretty much everybody agrees that genuine tool interoperability is increasingly important as the UML market matures, and to get that interoperability to work we need to remove the ambiguities and bugs.

UML 2.3 is essentially done, so it's now going into the organizational and voting process that will end up with it being formally adopted; and we've kicked off a task force to work on UML 2.4. Hopefully we can get the specification itself tooled up and sorted out over the next year, so that we can nail those outstanding ambiguities and bugs.

Steve Cook MSFThttp://blogs.msdn.com/stevecook/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxBalls and Sockets in UML Componentshttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/stevecook/archive/2009/06/29/balls-and-sockets-in-uml-components.aspx2009-06-29T14:09:09Z2009-06-29T14:09:09Z
In my last two posts I outlined the basic ideas of Parts, Ports and Connectors as they appear in Structured Classes. This time I'm going to discuss Components, and in particular the changes we've been making in UML 2.3 so that the Components chapter is well-defined.

In the UML metamodel, Component is defined to be a subclass of Class. As a consequence, a Component can contain Parts, Ports and Connectors just like any structured Class. So what is extra about Components? – very little, in fact; so little that I think that the two notions should really be combined into one. But that's a topic for another day. In fact the major feature introduced by Components is the ability to do "ball-and-socket" wiring between ports and parts. Here is a Component with ball-and-socket wiring that is semantically equivalent to the Ordering System I described in my last post.

You'll see that the notation – which looks quite expressive - allows you to connect balls (representing provided interfaces) with sockets (representing required interfaces). It shows that the :Ordering part requires the IQuery interface provided by the port on the Database components, and similarly the :Admin part requires the IAdmin interface.

This diagram looks like it connects interfaces to interfaces, and indeed the UML specification text frequently talks about connecting provided to required interfaces. The problem is that there is nothing in the UML metamodel that allows interfaces to be connected in this way. Although visually the balls are connected to the sockets, in fact it is the ports and parts that are connected, and the depiction of the interfaces is just a notational convenience. With the model above, this is ok. But now consider a diagram like the following:

The diagram appears perfectly plausible. But in fact the connectors between :First and :Second, and :Second and :Third, provide no way to identify the fact that :First consumes the interface that :Second provides, and :Second consumes the interface that :Third provides. Because there is no way in UML to identify a connector with an interface and a direction, the diagram's mapping to the model is ambiguous: the same model would also map to a diagram with the interface provision/consumptions reversed. Semantically, of course, that would be a completely different system.

This is the kind of problem that the UML Revision Task Force frequently has to deal with. For this particular problem, we identified three possible solutions:

Abolish ball-and-socket wiring altogether;
Restrict ball-and-socket wiring to simple ports, i.e. ports with only one provided or required interface;
Enhance the UML metamodel so that a connector can be associated with an interface and a direction.

After much discussion and some voting, the Task Force decided on solution 2. Abolishing ball-and-socket wiring altogether seemed rather draconian, although there were certainly strong advocates for doing it. Enhancing the UML metamodel was thought suspect because the resulting structures would effectively duplicate the existing semantics of Ports. So in UML 2.3, ball-and-socket wiring will only be valid between simple Ports.

In the Component designer of our VSTS 2010 Architecture product we do not implement ball-and-socket notation; instead we show balls and sockets on simple ports with connectors between them, which is a further notation option that is semantically identical to the figure above, but gives more layout flexibility and allows the diagrams to scale better.

Incidentally, the UML diagrams earlier in this sequence of posts were produced using Pavel Hruby's excellent Visio stencils for UML 2, which I find very useful for rapidly creating no-frills UML drawings when no semantic model is needed.

The 11-track album — featuring five songs co-written by Marroquin – is a mix of contemporary pop with a splash of Latin influence, comprising live studio musicians offering a mesh of electric and acoustic guitars, piano, chamber strings, percussion and bass.
Young Pals Records International is helmed by co-composers/producers Ayhan Sahin and Dennis DelGaudio, with album coordinator Tom Gallaher.
"This album is very significant to me, because I'm finally recording my own creation. There is a time and place for everything, and this is the perfect moment for me to release my music," Marroquin said in a statement. "The process was a sacred experience: It's you, the music and your mind going to a place where you interpret and express what each song is saying in the most intimate, honest way. I close my eyes and lose myself in the meaning of the lyrics — and my voice follows."
The complete track listing follows:
1. "Gone" (D. DelGaudio, A. Sahin)
2. "One Lie" (D. DelGaudio, A. Sahin)
3. "El Mundo Era Mio" (B. Marroquin)
4. "You Blow Me Away" (D. DelGaudio, A. Sahin, J. Gioa)
5. "Salvame" (B. Marroquin)
6. "Miss Out on You" (B. Marroquin)
7. "Something More Than Sideways" (D. DelGaudio, A. Sahin)
8. "No Pierdas Fe En Mi" (B. Marroquin)
9. "No Mas" (D. DelGaudio, A. Sahin, B. Marroquin)
10. "Physical" (S. Kipner, T. Shaddick)
11. "Marquee" (D. DelGaudio, A. Sahin, B. Marroquin)

My son has been going peepee on the potty before bathtime for ages now, and he seems to be aware of when he's peeing or pooping, and I've read that in other parts of the world it's common for kids to be trained before the age of two. If you're starting training now or soon, or have done it before, what method are you doing? I've read so much conflicting information I'm completely lost as to what works for this age group.
Today we did a lot of naked time, and I pointed out when he peepeed or poopooed (unknown consequence of baby poop being out in the open: the dog ATE IT before I could clean it up OH GOD) and asked him if he wanted to peepee or poopoo on the potty. He never did, but he WOULD sit on it, a lot, and when my toilet sense was tingling I was pretty much right 100% of the time that he was about to pee, but when I put him on the potty he did nothing, even though he goes at bathtime (for his father). Should I try putting him in underwear? Keep with the naked time for a little while until he points out to me that he's pooping or peeing (he says "fart" when he farts, haha, so it's gotta be a similar sort of thing)? Reward him for sitting on the potty? I was planning to reward him for doing anything in the potty, but that's a moot point if he won't go. Ugh. Any direction anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.
PS - I do NOT want to hear how it's "too early." It is not. There is no magic age, and I know I was potty trained by two, and many people were potty trained by 18 months.

This is a nice house in an up and coming part of Philadelphia. Easily accessible to SEPTA and walking distance to the northern liberties where there is some great food. Ula is a great host and I had no issues during my stay.
Comfortable, easy access and close to my workplace.
Ula's place is super cute and comfortable. We had a nice stay. The neighborhood has fun restaurants and bars. The garden is an added bonus. Ula was kind and very communicative.. Recommended for sure!
My wife and I stayed with Ula for the weekend. We were visiting friends, so we basically only slept & showered at Ula's place. She was quite welcoming, her home was clean and comfortable, and everything went very smoothly. She happily accommodated us when we could only arrive after 8pm on Friday evening. Her garden area seemed very nice (the weather was beautiful), and if we'd spent more time there, I would've loved to sit and have my coffee in the sun. If our friends weren't moving away from the area soon, I'm sure we'd happily stay with Ula again.
This accommodation was excellent. Great location just outside the trendy Northern Liberties, Philadelphia. Located down a quaint very quiet ally the home outside and in was decorated with care and style. As soon as we entered the access ally I felt very comfortable. The garden was very nice and clean. I love Ula's sense of decor. Meeting with Ula was a pleasure though brief. She talked with me how airbnb works and how her experiences being a guest and host have been. I felt an immediate sense of honesty and acceptance in to her home. If I return to Northern Liberties for business or pleasure and need accommodation I'll will again request Ula's "Philadelphia Hideaway with Garden"
Ula's place was nice, but she was not there when she said she would be. I left her a note saying I would like to meet her, she did not let me know when she was arriving and she was apparently there for the part of the time but never told me. She did not leave me a towel, and later accused me of "stealing" her art paper which was from the doula training workshoppe I was there attending.There are no grocery stores in the neighborhood and I was chased down the street by teenage boys, so I did not feel safe in the neighborhood. Not recommended for single (attractive) women. I had a friend walk me home because I felt uncomfortable at night, later she complained that I let a "stranger" into the house!
Ula's place is very sweet and welcoming, she works in NYC some days so we only caught each other briefly a few times in passing, but I wish I gotten to know her better because she seems like a very warm and unique individual. Her place was perfect for my visit, with a private room. Highly recommended!
Great little spot in a fascinating neighborhood. Philadelphia's Center City "scene" keeps migrating north, from Northern Liberties, through Fishtown, into Olde Kensington. Ula's place is on a quiet block within easy walking distance of one of the city's more vibrant areas. For an architecture buff, it's a treat to stay in one of Philadelphia's unique "Trinity" houses.
Reviews From Hosts
Ula was a great guest! She kept up after herself, took great care of the house, and was personally engaging yet provided plenty of space. Anybody looking for a top notch guest need look no further.
We had a little mix up with arrival time, but its amazing that doesn't happen more often! Anyway Ula was delightful, hard working on her class, up early and gone. She's fun to talk to, insightful, lighthearted.
I found Ula wonderful visitor. She was quiet, clean, polite, pleasant and considerate. She went by my house rules. I recommend to host her and she is always welcome back to my home again.
Ula was such a great guest! She's warm and friendly and bright and it was really lovely to chat with her in the kitchen. It felt very easy and comfortable to have her here and I highly recommend Ula as a guest!
Ula stayed in our room in August and she was a very good guest! She was polite, thoughtfull and took great care of our room. We recommend her to any host!
It was easy having Ula stay with us. She was considerate, generous and left the room in excellent condition. We enjoyed visiting with her and sharing common interests. She is always welcome here and we recommend her to others. We hope she returns again soon.
What a nice person Ula is. And a great guest. We hope she'll be back to see more of NL
Ula was very accomodating with my travel plans and totally respectful of the house rules. Great guest.
I didn't feel comfortable with Ula. She was dishonest in financial dealings. We agreed upon a certain amount and then days later I found out thru ABB that she had only paid a portion of that. In her review of me, she complains about me having to go through her room to access the bathroom but I TOLD her about that before she came. In her review she acts like it was a surprise. Will not rent to her again.
