well there are a lot of modeling languages out there when look at it.

You have two basic catagories Structured, and Object.

the the pros and cons are as the pros and cons of Structured and Object oriented programming.

in most cases the differences among the models in the same catagory are symbols and some changes to the information presented in each diagram. but in my experinece they are all trying to do the same thing and pretty much do. The choice is whether you like to use circles or squares.

Some of the more popular groups

Structured

Yourdon-DeMarco

Gane-Sarson

Object

Booch Method (Booch)

OMT (Rumbaugh)

OOSE (Jacobson)

UML (the collaboration of the three)

Fusion

Shlaer-Mellor

Coad-Yourdon

I would suggest using UML. A book "The Unified Modelling USer Guide" by Booch, Rumbaugh and Jacobson would be very helpful to develop a good understanding./Khurram

This sure sounds like a homework excercise - I wouldn't bother messing with anything from the past - and nowadays UML is pretty much it (thankfully things are settling down to a standard). Things are complex enough - choose the language with 14 million books describing it - UML.

At least this homework assignment was posted into a relevant forum !

Back when I was a lad we had to go to the library and do research.

Looking at my University days compared to now, why sonny, you probably

won't believe me, but we had to do our own work. Yup, we actually

had to learn things and display our knowledge through exams.
