Refining Mobile UML State Machines
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the semantics and refinement of mobile objects, considering an extension of core UML state machines by primitives that designate the location of objects and their moves within a network. Our contribution is twofold: first, we formalize the semantics of state machines in MTLA, an extension of Lamport’s Temporal Logic of Actions with spatial modalities. Second, we study refinement concepts for state machines that are semantically justified in MTLA.

Integrating UML Static and Dynamic Views and Formalizing the Interaction Mechanismof UML State Machines
In this paper we address the problem of integrating UML static and dynamic views, and different behavioral views. We tackle these problems by providing (a) a mapping of UML metamodel static and behavioral elements into ASMs and (b) a precise compositional semantics for state machines. Structural model elements are translated into an ASM vocabulary as collections of domains and functions. The dy...

متن کاملSpecification and refinement of mobile systems in MTLA and mobile UML
We define the spatio-temporal logic MTLA as an extension of Lamport’s Temporal Logic of Actions TLA for the specification, verification, and formal development of systems that rely on mobile code. The formalism is validated by an encoding of models written in the Mobile UML notation. We identify refinement principles for mobile systems and justify refinements of Mobile UML state machines with t...
متن کاملRefining Nodes and Edges of State Machines
State machines are hierarchical automata that are widely used to structure complex behavioural specifications. We develop two notions of refinement of state machines, node refinement and edge refinement. We compare the two notions by means of examples and argue that, by adopting simple conventions, they can be combined into one method of refinement. In the combined method, node refinement can b...
متن کاملUCTL A Temporal Logic for UML Statecharts
In this paper we present the state event based temporal logic UCTL that makes possible the description of properties on UML model evolutions and assertions on explicit local state variables of UML state machines This logic allows both to specify the basic properties that a state should satisfy and to combine these basic predicates with advanced logic or temporal operators Doubly Labelled Transi...
