Title: Novel approach to transform UML Sequence diagram to Activity diagram
Abstract: Unified Modelling Language (UML) is currently accepted as a defacto standard language for modeling the software in the software industry. It will allow to implement object oriented concepts to model the software system. It provides a complete pictographic representation of software. Broadly these UML diagrams are classified into two groups viz. Structural diagrams and Behavioral diagrams. The sequence diagrams and Activity diagrams belongs to the second group i.e. behavioral diagrams. The sequence diagram represents the sequence of messages flowing from one object to another and activity diagram represents the flow of activities one after the other in a system. In this paper, we are proposing an automated tool which transforms the sequence diagram (which is represented in the table format) into activity diagram. The sequence diagram which is represented in the three column table called sequence table comprises various components of sequence diagram like objects, interactions, messages, alternations, iterations, loops, etc. The proposed tool reads the sequence table and converts the entire table components into the equivalent Activity table. Further the tool reads the activity table and then transforms to its equivalent activity diagram.
