UML Interaction Diagrams: Correct Translation of Sequence Diagrams into Collaboration Diagrams

  • Conference paper
Applications of Graph Transformations with Industrial Relevance (AGTIVE 2003)

Abstract

In this paper, the two types of UML interaction diagrams are considered. A translation of sequence diagrams into collaboration diagrams is constructed by means of graph transformation and shown correct.

Research partially supported by the EC Research Training Network SegraVis and the DFG project UML-AID.
