MUNETON, ANDRÉS; ZAPATA, CARLOS M.  and  ARANGO, FERNANDO. RULES FOR AUTOMATED CODE GENERATION DEFINED OVER SIMPLIFIED METAMODELS OF CLASS, SEQUENCE AND STATE MACHINE DIAGRAMS OF UML 2.0. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2007, vol.74, n.153, pp.267-283. ISSN 0012-7353.

Automatic code generation from models has been one of the partially accomplished promises in software development. CASE Tools experiences, even so far from complete automatism, are complemented by some theoretic works, which torn apart modeling standards. In this paper we propose code generation rules from metamodels of the UML class, sequence, and state machine diagrams. The rules are defined on first-order logic, in order to allow the construction of a specification where both ambiguity and the need of learning a programming language are avoided. We also represent the application of transformation rules by means of a case study, and we generate source code of a class in the Java object-oriented programming language.

Keywords : UML; class diagram; sequence diagram; state machine diagram; transformation rules; code generation; metamodels.
