Sequence Diagram Similarity Measurement: A Different Approach

Abstract

Unified Modified Language (UML) is a modeling language standard for identifying, recording and designing a software. Reusing UML diagrams can help to accelerate the software development process. Reusing UML diagram requires a method of calculating similarities between artifacts in UML diagram. The proposed method contented of two elements of sequence diagrams, i.e. property of class and message sequence. The result of experiment showed that the property class and message sequence could be a suitable parameter in evaluating the UML sequence diagram similarity.
