Formal Analysis of Sequence Diagram with Combined Fragments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Combined Fragments of UML Sequence Diagram permit various types of control flow among messages (e.g., interleaving and branching) to express an aggregation of multiple traces encompassing complex and concurrent behaviors. However, Combined Fragments increase the difficulty of Sequence Diagram comprehension and analysis. To alleviate this problem, we introduce an approach to formally describe Sequence Diagrams with Combined Fragments in terms of the input language of the model checker NuSMV. This approach permits the verification of desired properties against Sequence Diagrams.

Formal Analysis of Scenario Aggregation
Graphical representations of scenarios, such as UML Sequence Diagrams, serve as a well-accepted means for modeling the interactions among software systems and their environment through the exchange of messages. The Combined Fragments of UML Sequence Diagram permit various types of control flow among messages (e.g., interleaving and iteration) to express an aggregation of multiple scenarios enco...
متن کاملAn Approach to Formalize UML Sequence Diagrams in CSP
UML sequence diagrams are widely used in mod-eling system behaviors in the early design phases of software development. In order to support formal model verification and refinement, sequence diagrams need to be formalized in a formal language. In this paper, we propose an approach to formalize UML sequence diagrams in CSP (communicating and sequential processes) in order to use FDR, a model che...

This ability in fuzzy UML, practically leaves the customers and market’s need without response in this important and vital area. Here, the available sequence diagrams in fuzzy UML will map into fuzzy Petri net. However, the formal models ability will be added to the Semi-formal fuzzy UML. This formalization will add the automatic processing ability to the Semi-formal fuzzy UML. Further more, t...

متن کاملSymbolic Model Checking of Interactions in Sequence Diagrams with Combined Fragments by SMV
In this paper, we proposed a method for detecting consistency violation between state machine diagrams and a sequence diagram defined in UML 2.0 using SMV. We extended a method expressing these diagrams defined in UML 1.0 with boolean formulas so that it can express a sequence diagram with combined fragments introduced in UML 2.0. This extension made it possible to represent three types of comb...
