Research on Conversion from UML Activity Diagram to Procedure Blueprint

Abstract

UML, as an international standard, is not suitable for static modeling of the program procedure. While Procedure Blueprint is a visual process modeling language and is suitable for modeling the procedure, which can supplement the UML deficiencies during the process of modeling the program static structure. In this paper, taking XMI as a common data structure and a data exchange bridge, proposed the general transformation idea, the transformation rules and the transformation algorithm from activity diagram to the procedure blueprint. This has laid the foundations for achieving the model transformation at last.
