“…In UML-RSDS we translate specifications into the B language to perform validation via proof and animation [16]. The complexity of such proofs can be reduced by only translating the parts of a specification directly relevant to a given property, enabling automated proof of correctness.…”

This paper defines techniques for the slicing of UML models, that is, for the restriction of models to those parts which specify the properties and behaviour of a subset of the elements within them. The purpose of this restriction is to produce a smaller model which permits more effective analysis and comprehension than the complete model, and also to form a step in factoring of a model. We consider class diagrams, single state machines, and communicating sets of state machines.

“…Integration between formal and informal or semi-formal visual modeling (or specification) languages is a well-known topic in the literature [8,11,12,14]. There are many advantages to be gained from integrating formal techniques with informal or semi-formal approaches in the field of software development.…”

Abstract. The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) involves automated transformations between software models defined in different languages at different abstraction levels. This paper takes an MDA approach to integrate a formal modeling language (Object-Z) with an informal modeling language (UML) via model transformation. This paper shows how formal and informal modeling languages can be cooperatively used in the MDA framework and how the transformations between models in these languages can be achieved using an MDA development environment. The MDA model transformation techniques allow us to have a reusable transformation between formal and informal modeling languages. The integrated approach provides an effective V&V technique for the MDA.
