Software through Pictures® (StP) Version 8.3 Now Available

San Diego, California, May 31, 2002

Aonix®, a member of the Gores Technology Group and a leading provider of software design tools, development environments, and safety critical solutions, announces the immediate availability of Software through Pictures® (StP), version 8.3.

With this new version of the well-established modeling tool, StP, Aonix continues to move consistently toward UML and Model Driven Architecture (MDA). MDA is the newest initiative of the OMG (www.omg.org/mda), which will soon be the standard approach for software projects. With the creation of a Platform Independent Model (PIM), the level of abstraction in the models is increased and the dependency on the target platform is reduced. The PIM is then transferred into the target environment.

Aonix - an active OMG member since 1992 - has been promoting the transformation of UML models to the target environment for years. With StP's Architecture Component Development (StP/ACD), Aonix provides a powerful transformation engine for UML models, already proven in many projects.

StP offers special UML profiles to generate C, C++, Ada 95, Java, CORBA, COM, and EJB. Further industry-specific solutions are available for auto-manufacture, real-time systems and safety-critical applications. This makes StP suitable for a wide range of software projects and systems engineering.

StP version 8.3 is truly a major new release by any measure!
