Weaving executability into UML class models at PIM level
Elvinia Riccobene, Patrizia Scandurra · 2009
Modeling languages that aim to capture PIM level behavior are still a challenge. We propose a high level behavioral formalism based on the Abstract State Machines (ASMs) for the specification and validation of software systems at PIM level. An ASM-based extension of the UML and its Action Semantics is here presented for the construction of executable class models at PIM level and also a model weaving process which makes the execution of such models possible. Our approach is illustrated using an Invoice Order System taken from the literature.
