Abstract
A profile for a tool implementing a unified modeling language (UML) is described. The profile extends the UML to include decision management functionality. The profile includes stereotypes and customizations which generate question elements, decision elements, alternative elements, and the like. The association between the elements permits a design engineer to review previous decisions and the rationale behind the decisions. In particular, the one of alternative elements is associated with decision element by selected alternative relationship.
