Visual modeling
Visual modeling is the graphic representation of objects and systems of interest using graphical languages. Visual modeling languages may be General-Purpose Modeling (GPM) languages (e.g., UML) or Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM) languages (e.g., SysML). They include industry open standards, such as UML and SysML, as well as proprietary standards, such as the visual languages associated with MATLAB/Simulink and OPNET. The growth in visual modeling languages is strong, as evidenced by increasing interest in DSM languages and visual OWL for the Semantic Web.
