ABSTRACT
In this work we plan to provide a suite of measures to address mainly two problem areas within contemporary object-oriented software measurement: (i) the lack of measures for the early stages of system development, like conceptual modeling and (ii) the lack of measures for dynamic models of an object-oriented system. Our suite of measures is going to be taken from UML 2.0 diagrams. OCL (Object-Constraint Language) and the UML 2.0 meta-model will be used to formalize and contextualize the definitions.

Behavior Modeling with Interaction Diagrams in a UML and OCL Tool
BM-FA '14: Proceedings of the 2014 Workshop on Behaviour Modelling-Foundations and ApplicationsThis contribution discusses system modeling with UML behavior diagrams. We consider statecharts and both kinds of interaction diagrams, i.e., sequence and communication diagrams. We present new implementation features in a UML and OCL modeling tool: (1) ...
Formalization of UML diagrams and their consistency verification: A Z notation based approach
ISEC '08: Proceedings of the 1st India software engineering conferenceIn this paper, we have suggested a methodology for formalizing some of the commonly used UML diagrams that are used in different phases of software development in Z notation, establish their relationship and then represent the "formalized" diagrams ...
