收购“受阻”

空中客车（Airbus）决定选择PragmaDev公司的工具，用在开发其航空交通控制系统中。PragmaDev工具（Real Time Developer Studio、MSC Tracer）的一个重要特性是能够将遗留的SDL模型和代码转化成MSC（Message Sequence Charc，消息序列图）或UML序列图。面向过程的活动图或“流程图”使用最广，画起来“容易”得多，但面向对象的序列图、状态图更能强迫人的大脑去作深刻的思考。通过逆转代码为序列图，来帮助开发人员理解纷乱复杂的代码，     

元模型层次的UML动态子图到Coq形式规范的转换

UML动态子图主要包括序列图和状态图等,它们在描述系统的行为方面应用广泛,但是半形式化的语义使它们不能直接进行形式化验证。Coq是目前主流的交互式定理证明器,用形式化的Coq规范来描述UML动态子图模型,可以在此基础上进行对模型的属性进行验证等工作。基于现有工作,提出将UML动态子图模型转换为Coq形式规范的框架,在元模型层次给出状态图和序列图的转换规则,介绍算法和原型工具实现。这种元模型层次的转换方法,保证了转换前后的语法正确性,为进一步分析验证提供了基础。

Integrating Model Information in UML Sequence Diagrams

In a UML model, different aspects of a system are covered by different types of diagrams. Nevertheless, it is important to provide means to check the consistency and completeness of the UML model. This problem is addressed in this paper by integrating the information specified in class and statechart diagrams into sequence diagrams. The representation as constraints attached to certain locations of the objects lifelines in the sequence diagram allows the identification of gaps and contradictory specifications. Furthermore, dependencies between the sequence diagrams can be investigated based on the previous analysis.     

从UML顺序图生成状态图的一个方法

UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a visual modeling language used for specifying,visualizing,constructing,and documenting the artifacts of software systems by various diagrams.It has been widely accepted as a standard modeling language in both academic and industrial areas.UML sequence diagrams are mostly used in specifying system requirements.By representing interactions,which are arranged in time sequence,between the objects in a system,sequence diagrams can construct scenarios indicating the system‘‘s functions.A UML statechart diagram is a graph shows the sequences of states that an object or an interaction goes through during its life in response to received stimuli,together with its responses and actions.It‘‘s useful in the design stage of system development.This essay discusses the computer-aided transformation from sequence diagrams to statechart diagrams,which can offer strong support for the transfering from requirement analysis to system design in the software development process.With OCL (Object Control Language) semantic constrain,a transform algorithm is provided in the paper.And the differences with the related works are also mentioned.

Specifying behavioral semantics of UML diagrams through graph transformations

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been widely accepted as a standard for modeling software systems from various perspectives. The intuitive notations of UML diagrams greatly improve the communication among developers. However, the lack of a formal semantics makes it difficult to automate analysis and verification. This paper offers a graphical yet formal approach to specifying the behavioral semantics of statechart diagrams using graph transformation techniques. It supports many advanced features of statecharts, such as composite states, firing priority, history, junction, and choice. In our approach, a graph grammar is derived automatically from a state machine to summarize the hierarchy of states. Based on the graph grammar, the execution of a set of non-conflict state transitions is interpreted by a sequence of graph transformations. This facilitates verifying a design model against system requirements. To demonstrate our approach, we present a case study on a toll-gate system.     

基于通信序列进程的UML序列图形式化方法

UML2.0序列图是一种描述对象之间动态协作和事件发展时间关系的视图,但是UML序列图缺乏精确的形式化语义,所以不利于对其所描述的系统进行形式化验证。为此,根据UML2.0语义文档及组合碎片包概念,基于通信序列进程(CSP)给出了UML序列图的基本元素和消息迹的形式化定义及生成规则,实现了UML序列图的形式化,为UML序列图在描述系统准确性和有效性方面提供了形式化的检验方法。最后通过ATM实例说明UML序列图这一过程的正确性。     

The impact of structural complexity on the understandability of UML statechart diagrams

The effectiveness of current software development strategies, such as Model-Driven Development (MDD), depends largely on the quality of their primary artefacts, i.e. software models. As the standard modelling language for software systems is the Unified Modelling Language (UML), quality assurance of UML models is a major research field in Computer Science. Understandability, i.e. a model’s ability to be easily understood, is one model quality property that is currently heavily under investigation. In particular, researchers are searching for the factors that determine an UML model’s understandability and are looking for ways to manipulate these factors. This paper presents an empirical study investigating the effect that structural complexity has on the understandability of one particular type of UML model, i.e. the statechart diagram. Based on data collected in a family of three experiments, we have identified three dimensions of structural complexity that affect understandability: (i) the size and control flow complexity of the statechart in terms of features such as the number of states, events, guards and state transitions; (ii) the actions that are performed when entering or leaving a state; (iii) the sequence of actions that is performed while staying within a state. Based on these structural complexity dimensions we have built an understandability prediction model using a regression technique that is specifically recommended for data obtained through a repeated measures design. Our test results show that each of the underlying structural complexity dimensions has a significant impact on the understandability of a statechart diagram.

Assessing the understandability of UML statechart diagrams with composite states—A family of empirical studies

The main goal of this work is to present a family of empirical studies that we have carried out to investigate whether the use of composite states may improve the understandability of UML statechart diagrams derived from class diagrams. Our hypotheses derive from conventional wisdom, which says that hierarchical modeling mechanisms are helpful in mastering the complexity of a software system. In our research, we have carried out three empirical studies, consisting of five experiments in total. The studies differed somewhat as regards the size of the UML statechart models, though their size and the complexity of the models were chosen so that they could be analyzed by the subjects within a limited time period. The studies also differed with respect to the type of subjects (students vs. professionals), the familiarity of the subjects with the domains of the diagrams, and other factors. To integrate the results obtained from each of the five experiments, we performed a meta-analysis study which allowed us to take into account the differences between studies and to obtain the overall effect that the use of composite states has on the understandability of UML statechart diagrams throughout all the experiments. The results obtained are not completely conclusive. They cast doubts on the usefulness of composite states for a better understanding and memorizing of UML statechart diagrams. Composite states seem only to be helpful for acquiring knowledge from the diagrams. At any rate, it should be noted that these results are affected by the previous experience of the subjects on modeling, as well as by the size and complexity of the UML statechart diagrams we used, so care should be taken when generalizing our results.     

Dynamic Meta Modeling with time: Specifying the semantics of multimedia sequence diagrams

The Unified Modeling Langugage (UML) offers different diagram types to model the behavior of software systems. In some domains like embedded real-time systems or multimedia systems, it is necessary to include specifications of time in behavioral models since the correctness of these applications depends on the fulfillment of temporal requirements in addition to functional requirements. UML thus already incorporates language features to model time and temporal constraints. Such model elements must have an equivalent in the semantic domain.We have proposed Dynamic Meta Modeling (DMM), an approach based on graph transformation, as a means for specifying operational semantics of dynamic UML diagrams. In this article, we extend this approach to also account for time by extending the semantic domain to timed graph transformation. This enables us to define the operational semantics of UML diagrams with time specifications. As an example, we provide semantics for special sequence diagrams from the domain of multimedia application modeling.
