Extensión del Diagrama de Secuencias UML para el Modelado orientado a Aspectos

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to review the unified modeling language UML sequence diagrams, presenting STAIRS as an alternative way of formalizing UML interaction diagrams, especially sequence diagrams. STAIRS is a formal language for modeling interactive UML diagrams, especially sequence diagrams. The inherent problems of ambiguity that UML models have, including the production of models that are not necessarily corrected, are analyzed. It is demonstrated that STAIRS contributes to reducing this ambiguity. It is concluded that although there are new approaches for software development, such as aspect-oriented development, UML is capable of adapting to these developments. The review and analysis presented in this article could be especially useful for clarifying these aspects.
