We propose an automatic transformation of Focal specifications to UML class diagrams. The main motivation for this work lies within the framework of the EDEMOI project, which aims to integrate and apply several requirements engineering and formal methods techniques to analyze airport security regulations. The idea is to provide a graphical documentation of formal models for developers, and in the long-term, for certification authorities. The transformation is formally described and an implementation has been designed. We also show how the soundness of our approach can be achieved.

“…The UML metamodel is also tailored to consider the semantic specificities of the Focal specification language (we adopted a profile approach). The corresponding rules are described in details in [3]. In addition, this transformation was proved to be sound: the defined profile does not introduce any inconsistency w.r.t.…”

We present the formalization of regulations intended to ensure airport security in the framework of civil aviation. In particular, we describe the formal models of two standards, one at the international level and the other at the European level. These models are expressed using the Focal environment, which is an object-oriented specification and proof system. In addition, we show that these models are correct and complete thanks to the Zenon automated theorem prover, which is the dedicated reasoning support of Focal. Finally, we propose an automatic transformation of Focal specifications to UML class diagrams, in order to provide a graphical documentation of formal models for developers, and in the long-term, for certification authorities.

“…In a symmetrical way, the FoCaLiZe typing context of a given species s n, is denoted Γ F (s n). Since most of the UML design features can seamlessly be represented in FoCaLiZe (following [12] and [16]) we transform an UML template class into a FoCaLiZe parameterized species. For brevity, we do not describe here such elements as visibility, inheritance and instantiation.…”

Abstract. UML is the defacto standard language to graphically describe systems in an object oriented way. Once an application has been specified, Model Driven Architecture (MDA) techniques can be applied to generate code from such specifications. Because UML lacks formal basis to analyze and check model consistency, it is pertinent to choose a formal target language (in the MDA process) to enable proofs and verification techniques. To achieve this goal, we have associated to UML the FoCaLiZe language, an object-oriented development environment using a proof-based formal approach. This paper focuses on a subset of UML constructors, the template classes. These latter allow developers to create generic models that can be instantiated for actual models through a binding relationship. Specifically, we propose a formal transformation of UML template classes annotated with OCL constraints into FoCaLiZe specification. The proposed mapping directly supports most of UML template features.
