Casl-Mdl, Modelling Dynamic Systems with a Formal Foundation and a UML-Like Notation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a part of Casl-Mdl, a visual modelling notation based on Casl-Ltl (an extension for dynamic system of the algebraic specification language Casl). The visual constructs of Casl-Mdl have been borrowed from the UML, thus existing editors may be used. A Casl-Mdl model is a set of diagrams but it corresponds to a Casl-Ltl specification, thus Casl-Mdl is a suitable means to easily read and write large and complex Casl-Ltl specifications. We use as a running example a case study that describes the functioning of a consortium of associations.

From Conditional Specifications to Interaction Charts
In this paper, addressing the classical problem of modelling the behaviour of a system, we present a paradigmatic journey from purely formal and textual techniques to derived visual notations, with a further attention first to code generation and finally to the incorporation into a standard notation such as the UML. We show how starting from Casl positive conditional specifications with initial...
متن کاملAn Algebraic Semantics of Uml Supporting Its Multiview Approach
We aim at using algebraic techniques, and in particular an extension, Casl-Ltl of the Casl basic language in order to produce a formal semantics of the UML. Contrary to most cases, this task is far from trivial. Indeed, the UML notation is complex, including a lot of heterogeneous notations for diierent aspects of a system, possibly described in diierent phases of the development process. Moreo...
متن کاملCasl - Ltl A Casl EXTENSION FOR DYNAMIC SYSTEMS
Casl the basic language developed within CoFI, the Common Framework Initiative for algebraic specification and development, cannot be used for specifying the requirements and the design of dynamic software systems. Casl-Ltl is an extension to overcome this limit, allowing to specify dynamic system by modelling them by means of labelled transition systems and by expressing their properties with ...
متن کاملA Formal Framework for UML Modelling with Timed Constraints: Application to Railway Control Systems
In the context of railway signalling systems, time related features play a relevant role at the validation process and specialists are more and more confronted with the necessity of applying formal methods as mean of preventing software faults. UML offers a standard notation for high quality systems modelling, however its current lack of formal semantics explains the existence of few tools supp...
متن کاملOn the Use of Graph Transformation in the Modeling and Verification of Dynamic Behavior in UML Models
The use of the UML specification language for modelling dynamic behaviors of systems is very widespread. UML Statecharts and Collaboration diagrams are widely used to model dynamic behaviors of systems. However, the lack of firm semantics for the UML modeling notations makes the detection of behavioral inconsistencies difficult in the initial phases of development. The use of formal methods mak...
