Abstract

There are many well-formedness rules of each UML element in UML specification[1], but there are not any rules that check the consistency among UML diagrams. Therefore, in this paper, we propose several checking rules to improve the consistency among UML diagrams, especially between UML static diagram and dynamic diagram. So we make explicit some requirements on consistency of UML diagrams that are buried in the original well-formedness rules of UML specification and derive some checking rules. Finally, we examine the usefulness of the derived rules through a case study.
