본 논문에서는 Use Case Diagram, Class Diagram, Activity Diagram, Sequence Diagram을 이용하여 PDA용 메신저 프로그램을 설계 및 구현하였다. PDA용 메신저 프로그램 대상으로는 PC 서버기능, 로그인기능, 친구 관리기능, 쪽지기능, 대화가능, 파일전송가능, 회원메뉴기능 등 총 7가지 기능을 선정하였다. 본 논문의 구현 결과 다음과 같은 효과를 가져왔다. 첫째, UML Diagram을 이용함으로서 개발자가 개발할 문제와 프로그래밍의 흐름을 쉽게 이해 할 수 있었다. 둘째, PDA를 자주 이용하는 사용자들은 시간의 제약을 받지 않고, 오랜 시간 동안 개발자와 커뮤니케이션을 할 수 있었다. 셋째, 객체지향 분석 단계에서는 UML Diagram의 유용성이 높았다. 넷째, 프로그램의 Update와 Maintenance가 용이하였다.

Proposed in this paper is a standard-compliant business process modeling tool which is based on the UML(Unified Modeling Language) activity diagram and produces an XPDL(XML Process Definition Language) file as an output. The XPDL is a standard process definition exchange format by WfMC (Workflow Management Coalition). To develop an UML/XPDL-based modeling tool, the mapping of modeling elements between activity diagram and XPDL format is conducted after the detailed analysis of each modeling specification. As a result of this mapping, it is revealed that modeling elements of each activity diagram and XPDL must be expanded. So new modeling elements are identified and added to each specification. Based on this mapping, the prototype system is developed, and the usefulness of the developed system is shown through the case study.

XPDL(XML Process Definition Language)은 프로세스 정의 교환을 위하여 WfMC에서 제안한 XML 기반 언어이다. 본 논문에서는 워크플로우 프로세스의 정의와 교환을 위하여 XPDL 문서의 구조(Schema)를 UML 다이어그램으로 모델링하여 기업들 간의 상호연동과 협업을 위한 업무흐름 파악을 용이하게 하는 모델을 제안한다. 이를 위해 XPDL 문서를 UML의 클래스 다이어그램과 액티비티 다이어그램으로 변환하는 사상 규칙을 정의하여, XPDL 프로세스 메타모델(Meta-Model)를 구성하는 각 엘리먼트는 클래스 다이어그램으로 모델링하고, 프로세스 액티비티(Process Activity)는 액티비티 다이어그램으로 모델링하는 기법을 제안한다. 또한 제안된 기법을 "신용 카드 상태 체크 시스템"의 워크플로우에 대한 XPDL 문서을 적용하여 제안된 기법의 유효성을 검증한다.

Currently there are a variety of different tools may be used to analyze, model, describe and document a business process. However, it is difficult to exchange the information of a business process created in different tools because of the distinct information formats used in different tools. The XML Process Definition Language (XPDL) of the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) forms a common interchange standard that enables products to continue to support arbitrary internal representations of process definitions with an import/export function to map to/from the standard at the product boundary. Generally a business process model can be represented by the UML activity diagram, but there is a difficult task to directly generate an XPDL document from a business process model represented by the standard activity diagram. In the paper we will propose an approach to generate an XPDL document from a business process model represented by the extended UML activity diagram.

Because the designed workflow may contain potential errors which may result in deadlocks, livelocks and so on, it is important to analyze the correctness of a workflow definition before it is put into the run time environment. Proposed in this paper is a transformation procedure of an UML activity diagram into a Petri net for the analysis of a workflow. By combining the strengths of easy-to-use functionality of an activity diagram and the analysis power of a Petri net, workflow analysts in the enterprise can model and analyze various kinds of workflow definition more easily and accurately.

Software testing is an important phase as it ensures the software quality. The software testing process comprises of three steps: generation, execution, and evaluation of test cases. Literature claims the usage of single and multiple 'Unified Modeling Language' (UML) diagrams to generate test cases. Using multiple UML diagrams increases test case coverage. However, the existing approaches show limitations in test case generation from UML diagrams. Therefore, in this research study, we propose an approach to generate the test cases using UML State Chart Diagram (SCD), Activity Diagram (AD), and Sequence Diagram (SD). The proposed approach transforms UML diagrams into intermediate forms: SCD Graph, AD Graph, and SD Graph respectively. Furthermore, by integrating these three graphs, a System Testing Graph (STG) is formed. Finally, test cases are identified from STG by using a traversal algorithm such as Depth First Search (DFS) that is an optimization method. The results show that the proposed approach is better compared to existing approaches in terms of coverage and performance. Moreover, the generated test cases have the ability to detect faults at the unit level, integration, and system level testing.

UML(Unified Modeling Language) 액티비티 다이어그램은 시스템의 동적인 측면을 표현하는데 적합하기 때문에 비즈니스 프로세스와 워크플로우를 모델링하는데 유용하게 사용된다 그러나 워크플로우 시스템에서 중요시 되는 시멘틱 정보 표현의 경우 OMG가 제공하는 UML 액티비티 다이어그램에 대한 시멘틱 정보를 표현하기 위한 지침만으로는 정확한 시멘틱 정보의 표현이 어렵다. 이에 본 논문에서는 워크플로우 시스템의 특성에 맞도록 ASM(State Machine) 시멘틱을 확장한 후 액티비티 다이어그램에 적용하여 워크플로우 시스템을 모델링하는 방안을 제시한다. 이와 같은 ASM 시멘틱을 기반으로 하는 정형적인 시멘틱에 대한 정확한 정의를 통하여 보다 효율적인 워크플로우 모델링이 가능하다.

In order to survive in today's competitive world, understanding the business process and how it works can be a key to success. Visualization improves understandability of business process for developers, and accompanies modeling. There are two modeling methods that are often used in the industry - standard BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) and UML activity diagram. This paper shows whether the activity graph of UML 2.0 draft can support business process modeling or not through comparing it with the BPMN features.

Model-based software architecture verification and test scenarios generation are becoming more and more important in the software industry. Based on the existing temporal graph grammar, this paper proposes a new formalization method of the context-sensitive graph grammar for aiming at UML activity diagrams, which is called the UML Activity Graph Grammar, or UAGG. In the UAGG, there are new definitions and parsing algorithms. The proposed mechanisms are able to not only check the structural correctness of the UML activity diagram but also automatically generate the test scenario according to user constraints. Finally, a case study is discussed to illustrate how the UAGG and its algorithms work.
