From UML 2 Sequence Diagrams to State Machines by Graph Transformation
By: Roy Grønmo, Birger Møller-Pedersen
Abstract
Algebraic graph transformation has been promoted by several authors as a means to specify model transformations. This paper explores how we can specify graph transformation-based rules for a classical problem of transforming from sequence diagrams to state machines. The specification of the transformation rules is based on the concrete syntax of sequence diagrams and state machines. We introduce tailored transformation support for sequence diagrams and a novel graphical operator to match and transform combined fragments.
