Transformation from Sequence Diagram to Class Diagram

Modeling software with object-oriented technique and Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become the new paradigm of modern information systems analysis and design. Selonen et al. (2003) proposed a framework for transformation within UML. However, they do not precisely define the operations and the rules they use. This research presents a systematic method which enhances Selonen et al.¡¦s work to transform the sequence diagram into the class diagram. The transformation process consists of three phases: (1) mapping the given sequence diagram to a notation-independent and semantically equivalent minimal model, (2) transforming the minimal model of the sequence diagram into the minimal model of a class diagram, and (3) mapping the minimal model to a class diagram. A real-world case is used to illustrate the concepts, application, and the advantages of using the proposed method. With this approach, the system developer can transform sequence diagram into class diagram automatically and thereby enhance the efficiency of system development.
