Improving the Use of Multiplicity in UML Association
نویسندگان
چکیده
Through the incorporation of derived classes and associations in class diagrams, this paper proposes a method to improve the specification power of multiplicity for n-ary associations in Unified Modeling Language (UML). The enhanced method can specify more business rules explicitly and concisely in class diagrams through the use of multiplicities instead of using constraints defined informally or in Object Constraint Language (OCL).

A UML Class Diagram-Based Pattern Language for Model Transformation Systems
Model transformation methods are vital in several applications such as OMG’s Model-Driven Architecture and Visual Model Processors. This paper contributes a metamodel-based rewriting rule representation similar to the UML class diagram and the supporting algorithms to determine valid instances of the patterns. The proposed algorithms are illustrated by specific examples throughout the paper. Th...
