Mechanized Semantics of Uml Sequence Diagrams
نویسندگان
چکیده
UML Sequence Diagrams are widely used in software development. When putting to applications such as code generation, model simulation and other automated analysis, the formalization of UML Sequence Diagrams, especially correctness of it becomes increasingly important. This article presents the formal specification including denotational semantics and operational semantics of UML Sequence Diagrams. The Coq proof assistant is used to mechanize the semantics and prove the correctness of operational semantics compared to denoational semantics.

Towards Mechanized Semantics of Uml Sequence Diagrams and Refinement Relation
Sequence diagrams are widely used to describe the behavior of software during the design phase. Sequence diagrams have significant practical value. However, a systematic way of understanding and specifying the formal semantics of sequence diagrams does not exist. Analyzing the design properties may reveal software faults before software implementation, thereby improving the software quality and...
متن کاملMechanical Analysis of UML State Machines and Class Diagrams
A semantic model for statecharts is used as the basis of a mechanization in Isabelle. Similarly, we build an Isabelle embedding of class diagrams using ideas from a reference semantics for Object-Z, without using Object-Z itself, rather expressing the semantics directly in Is-abelle's Higher Order Logic. The combination of these two mechanized semantical models is intended as a basis for reason...
متن کاملTowards Dynamic Meta Modeling of UML Extensions: An Extensible Semantics for UML Sequence Diagrams
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) still lacks a formal and commonly agreed specification of its semantics that also accounts for UML’s built-in semantic variation points and extension mechanisms. The semantics specification of such extensions must be formally integrated and consistent with the standard UML semantics without changing the latter. Feasible semantics approaches must thus allow ad...
متن کاملMapping Sequence diagram in Fuzzy UML to Fuzzy Petri Net
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 کاملDefining the Semantics of UML Class and Sequence Diagrams for Ensuring the Consistency and Executability of OO Software Specification
In order to ensure the correctness of OO Software Specification when using UML, the semantics of UML diagrams must be rigorously defined. To be rigorous, one typically resorts to formal languages for specifying UML diagrams. However, formal languages are usually heavy to learn/use and formally defined semantics of diagrams usually does not show how it is connected to the semantics of programs. ...
