INTEGRATING UML 2.0 ACTIVITY DIAGRAMS AND PI-CALCULUS FOR MODELING AND VERIFICATION OF SOFTWARE SYSTEMS USING TGG

This paper deals with modeling and verification of software systems #built up saddle pad by combining UML diagrams and Pi-calculus.UML 2.0 Activity diagrams are used for modeling the behavior of software systems, while Pi-calculus is used for semantic and verification purposes.

More precisely, UML is a semi-formal language and so it needs formal semantics for its constructs and lacks tools for verifying properties.To this end, we propose an approach and a tool called AD2PICALC for transforming UML 2.0 Activity diagrams to Pi-calculus processes using Eclipse Xpand and TGG tools.

The obtained Pi-calculus processes are then used as input for Pi-calculus tools, like MWB, to verify some properties as deadlocks, safety, determinism, termination and livelock.We illustrate our contribution through an example from the literature and verify the property Plein air - Accessoires - Sac a dos of deadlock using MWB tool.The main contribution of this paper lies in the automation of the transformation approach using TGG tools.
