Modelling Mobility with UML2.0 and PEPA Nets

Abstract

We show how UML2.0 together with PEPA nets can be used to model dynamic aspects of mobile applications. UML2.0 provides a new form of high-level description of interactions called interaction overview diagram. The combination of interaction overview diagrams and sequence diagrams is naturally translated into PEPA nets, a performance modelling language. In this way, the designers using UML can analyse their models formally using available tools for PEPA nets
