Abstract

The VUML (View-based UML) profile makes it possible to create unified, multiview models for complex systems. Nevertheless, the work already done focuses mostly on structural issues and does not fully cover behavioral concerns. With an emphasis on multi-view objects, this study adds capabilities to the VUML profile to represent system behavior. We suggest modifying UML state machines to express view object behaviors and how they combine to form global multi-view object behaviors. Our method allows for the independent construction of view behaviors, followed by a methodical composition process. The outcomes demonstrate how our approach improves VUML's capacity to represent intricate, multi-view system behaviors while preserving concern separation. The work being done here helps to close the gap that exists between structural and behavioral modeling in multi-view systems, which has implications for developing complex software systems using model-driven development.
