We provide an automata-theoretic solution to one of the main open questions about the UML standard, namely how to assign a formal semantics to a set of sequence diagrams without c...
We present a polynomial upper bound for flattening of UML statecharts. An efficient flattening technique is derived and implemented in SCOPE—a code generator targeting constra...
Functional requirements contain, and systems exhibit, the behavior summarized below.Despite the advances in software engineering since 1968, how to go from a set of functional req...
This paper focuses on the development of a principled methodology for the dependability analysis of composite Web services. The first step of the methodology involves a UML represe...
