Abstract: | Scenario languages are widely used in software development. Typical usage scenarios, forbidden behaviors, test cases, and
many more aspects can be depicted with graphical scenarios. Scenario languages were introduced into the Unified Modeling Language
(UML) under the name of Sequence Diagrams. The 2.0 version of UML changed Sequence Diagrams significantly and the expressiveness
of the language was highly increased. However, the complexity of the language (and the diversity of the goals Sequence Diagrams
are used for) yields several possible choices in its semantics. This paper collects and categorizes the semantic choices in
the language, surveys the formal semantics proposed for Sequence Diagrams, and presents how these approaches handle the various
semantic choices. |
