Formalization of Well-formedness Rules for Uml Use Case Diagram

چکیده
Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a modeling language for specifying, constructing and documenting the artifacts of the systems. Similar to programming language such as C++ and Java, UML also consists of syntax and semantics. The UML syntax is the graphical notations to draw the UML diagrams and the semantics is the meaning of the notations. The semantics is grouped into two, static or well-formedness and dynamic. Currently, UML offers 13 diagrams for modeling any systems. The semantics of these 13 diagrams must give precise meaning. This is to ensure that the software modeler and system developer have improved common understanding towards the meaning of the diagrams. This can be achieved by employing wellformedness rules to address ambiguities and inconsistencies in UML representation. This paper discusses the well-formedness rules of one particular UML diagram, which is a use case diagram and provides an approach to formalize these rules.

Mapping 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 کاملPetri Nets Based Formalization of Textual Use Cases
A Use Case is a specification of interactions involving a system and external actors of that system. The intuitive, user centered nature of textual use cases is one of the reasons for the success of the use case approach. A certain level of formalization is however needed to automate use case based system development, including tasks such as model synthesis, verification and validation. In this...

Syntax The abstract syntax is presented in a UML class diagram showing the metaclasses defining theconstructs and their relationships. The diagram also presents some of the well-formedness rules,mainly the multiplicity requirements of the relationships, and whether or not the instances of aparticular sub-construct must be ordered. Finally, a short informal description in natural...

متن کاملCoherently Explaining UML Statechart and Collaboration Diagrams by Graph Transformations
In this paper we continue our work on the formalization and validation of UML models by means of graph transformation systems. We here concentrate on statechart and collaboration diagrams albeit our approach covers use case, class, object, and sequence diagrams as well. The statechart and collaboration diagrams describe the operations of the underlying class diagram and include OCL expressions ...
