Formal Semantics for Property-Property Relations in SEAM Visual Language: Towards Simulation and Analysis of Visual Specifications

Abstract

Abstract. SEAM is an enterprise architecture method that defines a visual language for modeling. Our goal is to provide formal semantics for SEAM. Model simulation, model comparison, and refinement verification are practical benefits we expect from this formalization. This paper complements the existing SEAM semantics by formalizing property-property relations. This formalization is based on the theory of multi-relations and Relation Partition Algebra (RPA).
