CheckVML: A Tool for Model Checking Visual Modeling Languages
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the paper, we present a tool for model checking dynamic consistency properties in arbitrary well-formed instance models of any modeling language defined visually by metamodeling and graph transformation techniques. Our tool first translates such high-level specifications into a tool independent abstract representation of transition systems defined by a corresponding metamodel. From this intermediate representation the input language of the back-end model checker tool (i.e., SPIN in our case) is generated automatically.

Significantly Increasing the Usability of Model Analysis Tools through Visual Feedback
A plethora of theoretical results are available which make possible the use of dynamic analysis and model-checking for software and system models expressed in high-level modeling languages like UML, SDL or AADL. Their usage is hindered by the complexity of information processing demanded from the modeler in order to apply them and to effectively exploit their results. Our thesis is that by impr...
متن کاملTowards Symbolic Analysis of Visual Modeling Languages
Graph transformation has recently become more and more popular as a general, rule-based visual specification paradigm to formally capture the operational semantics of modeling languages based on metamodeling techniques as demonstrated by benchmark applications focusing on the formal treatment of the Unified Modeling Language (UML). In the paper, we enable model checking-based symbolic verificat...

متن کاملTowards Symbolic Analysis of Model Transformations
As the Unified Modeling Language is evolving into a family of languages with individually specified semantics, there is an increasing need for highly automated and provenly correct model transformations that assure the integration of local views of the system (in the form of different diagrams) into a consistent global view. Graph transformation provides an easy-to-understand visual specificati...
متن کاملDesign and Verification of Industrial Logic Controllers with UML and Statecharts
The paper describes a methodological framework that aims to apply formal design and verification techniques to the domain of Logic Control and Supervision for Manufacturing Systems. The methodology is based on a Object-Oriented approach, supported by a syntactical and semantical adaptation of the semi-formal software specification languages UML and Statecharts. The modeling languages has been s...
