Abstract

Collaboration diagrams as described in the official UML documents specify patterns of system structure and interaction. In this paper, we propose their use for specifying, in addition, pre/postconditions and state transformations of operations and scenarios. This conceptual idea is formalized by means of graph transformation systems and graph process, thereby integrating the state transformation with the structural and the interaction aspect.
