Topic: Introduction to Rational Rose When you first open up Rational Rose, a create new model window pops up, from this model you can load up a model with predefined elements. (Fig.1)

Figure 1: Windows pop-up The application window consists of the title bar, menu, toolbar, browser, documentation, log view, and the diagram window. (Fig.2)

Figure 2: Rational Rose

Menu The menu consists of 11 elements, which allow the user to execute some specific actions from specific component. (Fig.3)

Figure 3: Menu File: provides options to create, open, close and save projects, and also to perform print tasks. Edit: provides a range of functions to apply to diagram elements for the currently open diagram (copy, paste, undo, redo). View: you can set local user preferences, including which toolbars or windows are hidden or visible. Format: includes redacting options ( font size, color, font). Browser: lets user to decide which type of diagram will be loaded in browser window and executed. Report: shows some features: usage, instances, and access violations. Query: allows us to add classes and use cases hide/expand selected element. Tools: provides access to various tools including those related to code engineering, managing .EAP files, spelling options, external resources and customization of features such as configuring shortcuts. Add-Ins: if you have installed Add-In on your system, it provides you to connect to, display information on, work and manage the Add-Ins. Window: provides access to various actions related to configuring open windows. Help: provides access to the Enterprise Architect help files, the Read Me file, the Enterprise Architect End User License Agreement and various features.

Toolbars The standard toolbar is displayed under the menu bar and is used to perform basic tasks in Rational Rose.(Fig.4)

Figure 4: Standard toolbar It Provides quick access to the most commonly used actions as: new model, open model, save model, edit options, help, browse different types of diagrams, zoom in and zoom out. The special toolbar contains the tools that are different for each chosen diagram. (Fig. 5)

Browser The browser window works much like a tree view browser in windows explorer. The browser allows you to Create new folders (packages), actors, use cases, classes, files, URLs, and diagrams in a hierarchical structure. Each object is represented by a unique icon to show the type of each object.

Diagram Window The diagram windows are the main form of interaction a user will deal with. Diagram windows are used to visually represent objects and elements of the model. Diagram windows give the user full control over the design, layout, properties, etc of model objects and how those objects interact with each other. Multiple objects can appear on one diagram window and all objects can each appear on multiple diagram windows.

Documentation Window The documentation window is used to describe model elements or relationships. The description can include such information as the roles, keys, constraints, purpose, and essential behavior of the element. You can type information either here or through the documentation field of a specification.

Log Window Rational Rose uses the log window to report progress, results, and errors that occur as a result of a command or action in your model. The messages posted to the log are prefixed with a time stamp, enabling you to track when an event or action occurred.

Conclusion Comparing to Enterprise Architect, Rational Rose has a simpler construction and user interface structure. The functional part has to be discovering during practical tasks.
