UML, Say Hello to SysML
UML users no longer need to be software-centric with the arrival of SysML. The system-level design language SysML represents all elements of an electronic system, from hardware to software. Created primarily for systems engineers, SysML is both a subset to and an extension of UML.
According to the EETimes.com article, SysML took a major step towards standardization in late April, when key committees of the Object Management Group approved the SysML Team’s language 1.0 specification.
Several salient additions to UML provided by SysML:
- Requirements modeling
- Parametric models
- Extensions that support the flow of data/matter/energy (UML supports discrete events)
More information can be found on the language’s official website.

Never have I made a UML diagram before
Perhaps it made me unorganized.

Well, I believe the necessity to use UML depends on the person. There are excellent programmers who do not use it, while there are UML experts who do not program well.
