Implementing the dynamic behavior represented as multiple state diagrams and activity diagrams

Abstract

A system is introduced which automatically generates implementation code from the object and dynamic models of an application. We found that the behavior of active objects can well be represented by activity diagrams rather than state diagrams. The paper first explains our approach to convert state diagrams as well as activity diagrams into implementation code. The paper then describes our system, dCode, which automatically generates executable Java code from the object diagram, state diagrams and activity diagrams of an application.
