Simplified Bi-Directional Transformation of UML Activities into Petri Nets

چکیده

Model-to-Model mapping should offer the advantage of fully operational bi-directional mapping between different models or formalisms that share some common properties. However in reality this is not easily achievable. It is acknowledged that previous work was presented where it was shown how Triple Graph Grammars are useful to achieve the mapping. UML 2 activities share some similarities with Petri nets. In this paper a simple condensed rule based solution for bi-directional mapping or transformation of UML 2 activities into Petri nets is presented. A practical example is used to illustrate the bi-directional transformation possibility and some conclusions are given. Key-Words: Petri Nets, Activities, UML2, Bi-directional Transformation, Triple graph grammars

Mapping UML Models to Colored Petri Nets Models based on Edged Graph Grammar

This paper presents an approach for transforming UML class diagrams and extended sequence diagrams into Colored Petri Nets. In the field of software model, UML has become a widely used software modeling language. However, as a semi-formal language, UML lacks a precise formal semantic base for its notation. In this paper, Colored Petri Nets are taken as the formal language for UML models' analys...

Derivation and Evaluation of OSAN Models from UML Models of Business Processes

The unified modelling language (UML) is a de facto standard for object-oriented modelling. However, the formal semantics for the notations included in UML are not provided, which are a key requirement for the verification and evaluation purposes. To solve this problem, Petri nets formalism has been used as a complement to UML in several research projects. However, there is not a complete transf...
