UML is a general-purpose modeling language that offers a heterogeneous set of diagrams to describe the different views of a software system. While there seems to be a general consensus on the semantics of some individual diagrams, the composite semantics of the different views is still an open problem. During my PhD I am considering a significant and consistent set of UML diagrams, where timed-related properties can be modeled carefully, and I am ascribing them with a formal semantics based on metric temporal logic. The use of logic is aimed to help capture the composite semantics of the different views efficiently. The result is then used to feed a bounded model/satisfiability checker to allow users to verify these systems, even from the initial phases of the design. The final goal is to realize an advanced modeling framework where users can exploit both a well-known modeling notation and advanced verification capabilities seamlessly.

“…A few general conversion approaches between two different specifications have been proposed, specifically as follows. The work by Baresi et al [33,34] addressed the need to analyze Interaction Overview Diagrams. Thus, they proposed a conversion approach from IOD to TRIO temporal logic [35] based on the transformation formulae.…”

The need for conversion method exists due to the limitation of manual conversion at design time whenever the interested party must perform some assessments using an existing model checker tool. Manual conversion of the related requirements into the respective specification language is time-consuming especially when the person has limited knowledge and need to do the task repetitively with a different set of Service Level Agreement (SLA) configurations. This paper aims to address the need to automatically capture non-functional requirements specified in the SLA, namely, Service Level Objectives (SLO) and converting them into a specific probabilistic temporal logic specification. We tackle this problem by proposing a conversion method that utilizes a rule-based and template-based approach. The conversion method automatically extracts the required information in SLA based on certain rules and uses the extracted information to replace the elements in the prepared template. We focus on WS-Agreement language for SLA and probabilistic alternating-time temporal logic with rewards specification (rPATL) for the properties specification used in PRISM-games model checker tool. We then implement an initial proof-of concept of a conversion method to illustrate the applicability of translating between targeted specifications

This paper presents a novel technique to formally verify models of real-time systems captured through a set of heterogeneous UML diagrams. The technique is based on the following key elements: (i) a subset of UML diagrams, called C-UML, which allows designers to describe the components of the system and their behavior through several kinds of diagrams (e.g., state machine diagrams, sequence diagrams, activity diagrams, interaction overview diagrams), and stereotypes taken from the UML MARTE profile; (ii) a formal semantics of C-UML diagrams, defined through formulae of the metric temporal logic TRIO; (iii) a tool, called Corretto, which implements the aforementioned semantics and allows users to carry out formal verification tasks on modeled systems. We validate the feasibility of our approach through a set of different case studies, taken from both the academic and the industrial domain. CCS Concepts: •Software and its engineering → Model-driven software engineering; Model checking; Unified Modeling Language (UML);
