Object/behavior diagrams

Abstract

A novel diagram technique is presented to depict the structure as well as the behavior of objects. One of its distinguishing characteristics is its strict adherence to the object-oriented paradigm. A first prototype of an editor for object/behavior diagrams has been developed and is running on SUN-workstations. To assist the user the editor provides hypertext style facilities for navigating through different diagrams. For example, by clicking on an activity in a life cycle diagram one moves to the activity specification diagram of that activity.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
