Transformation of UML Models to CSP: A Case Study for Graph Transformation Tools

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNPSE,volume 5088)

Abstract

Graph transformation provides an intuitive mechanism for capturing model transformations. In the current paper, we investigate and compare various graph transformation tools using a compact practical model transformation case study carried out as part of the AGTIVE 2007 Tool Contest [22]. The aim of this case study is to generate formal CSP processes from high-level UML activity diagrams, which enables to carry out mathematical analysis of the system under design.
