“…Kim Soon-Kyeong et al [6,7] present a formal description for UML class constructs, and a formal metamodeling approach to transform UML to Object-Z. They utilize MDA for automated transformations between models defined in different languages at different abstraction levels [8].…”

Formal specification can enhance the reliability of the embedded system and verify the system properties at the design stage. This paper presents a formal transformation approach for MARTE(Modeling and Analysis of Real Time and Embedded systems) model based on MDA(Model Driven Architecture), and defines the transformation rules of static and dynamic semantic between MARTE model and Object-Z model in term of the formal meta-model. The approach can produce a precise specification and verify the correctness of the system properties before implementing. The paper reports a case study to illustrate formal transformation of MARTE model. It demonstrates that the approach improves the accuracy of system model by transforming it into formal specification and enhances the reliability of software system.

“…In the class specification below, no distinction will be made between call or signal event types as they are of greater consideration to the system designer and developer than is the case for the specification phase (as earlier indicated in Section 2.9, page 37). The behaviour of a class can be modelled in terms of its attributes and operations [32]. In order to accommodate and model the transition between states the Z++ meta-model created initially on page 92 will be modified (Figure 4.10).…”

Formal methods have been shown to be beneficial in increasing the quality of, and confidence in software systems. Despite the advantages of using formal methods in software development, the uptake in the commercial industry has been limited where the use of informal and semi-formal notations is favoured. To bridge the gap between the ease-of-use of semi-formal notation and correctness of formal methods, a number of approaches to the formalisation of informal and semi-formal notation have been researched and documented. Two of these approaches are discussed in this dissertation using a medium-sized case study to demonstrate the approaches. It was shown that each approach offered results that differed in terms of levels of abstraction, requisite knowledge of the formal target specification language and potential for automation.

“…Some of them, such as [6,7,8], are based on the UML meta-model; some methods, such as [9], are based on an extended UML metamodel; other methods such as [4] are not based on the metamodel. UML has a layered architecture based on a four-tier structure.…”
