摘要：UML (Unified Mo deling Language) is one of themost used languages to specify and document in-formatics applications. However, UML is a general-purpose language, so it often lacks of elements tomodel and represent concrete concepts of specificsdomains. As a solution, OMG (Ob ject Manage-ment Group) has created the profiles, a mechanismto extend the syntax and semantics of UML to ex-press more specific concepts of certain applicationdomains.In this work we present a UML profile for mode-ling WAP (Wireless Applications Proto col) appli-cations. The main goal of the proposed profile is toextend UML to provide specifics elements (labeledclasses, stereotypes, tagged values and constraints)that allow software developers to model WAP appli-cations.The expressiveness of the UML diagrams a-llows modeling important stages of the process ofcommon applications; nevertheless, the modelingprocess of WAP applications is still a too sp ecificdomain that can be hardly dealt with in its entiretywithout extending the language. In the processexists navigational, design and construction issuesthat cannot be mo deled using the traditional ele-ments of UML. However, by using the specific ele-ments created by the proposed profile, these issuescan b e completely solved, and even a greater ex-pressiveness can be obtained
