The Algorithm of Transformation from UML Sequence Diagrams to the Topological Functioning Model

Obtaining and Visualization of the Topological Functioning Model from the UML Model

“…This information can be manually added during the analysis of the obtained TFM and the software system. The transformation algorithm is provided in the chart diagrams in [1] and is implemented in pseudo code in [2].…”

“…As the result the "target" system can be obtained. The transformation algorithm was theoretically developed in [1] and [2] by the mappings between TFM and UML model elements was provided in [18]. It is necessary to implement this algorithm, validate and check it by practical experiment with already developed legacy system, because some information can be lost during transformations (e.g.…”

“…First, structure and behavior of the software system can be automatically generated as a model from the source code using RE tools. After that the TFM can be obtained from the generated model using the partially implemented transformation algorithm [1], [2]. The goal of this paper is to discuss the results of obtaining the TFM from the source code using RE and Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) principles.…”

Comparing Transformation Possibilities of Topological Functioning Model and BPMN in the Context of Model Driven Architecture

“…Formal approaches allow defining formal or semi-formal model transformations (including reverse engineering [9]), which are the key part of MDA, and formal tracing of modelling artefacts. Furthermore, the power of traditional engineering is that engineers do trust in theory, mathematics and formal methods [3], and this power can be used in software development.…”
