Some Preliminary Hints on Formalizing UML With Object Petri Nets
Category: Software and Web Development
Tags: object-oriented
Overview Petri nets have already been used to formalize UML and they have already shown - at least partially - what can be done in terms of analysis and simulation. Nevertheless "Conventional" Petri nets, like P/T nets and color nets, are not always enough to efficiently formalize the behavior associated with UML models when specifications heavily rely on typical object-oriented features, like inheritance, polymorphism and late binding. Rendering these peculiar aspects by means of ad-hoc subnets oftentimes lead to awkward subnets and impacts the complexity of resulting formalizations. This paper presents some preliminary hints on formalizing the dynamic aspects of UML - more precisely Interaction and Statechart diagrams - with Object Petri Nets (OPNs) to find a more natural solution to the formalization of object-oriented features.
