AIRBNB SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE MODELING USING UML EXTENSIONS

Abstract

Airbnb is a California based company that operates an online marketplace for lodging and homestays for vacation rentals, and tourism activities. Modeling a prototype of the application with all the integral features intact would help us understand the core working and success of the company. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a language for the specification, visualization and documentation of object-oriented software systems. In order to understand the features of the miniature Airbnb, we try to model the system using UML diagrams. In this study, the proposed extension to UML covers aspects of use case diagram, sequence diagram, activity diagram and class diagram of the miniature Airbnb model at various levels and perspectives.
