Abstract

UML 2.0 composite structure diagrams allow to describe the internal structure of a class, thereby facilitating the class interaction representation. A class diagram can be used for obtaining a composite structure diagram, but in this case the departing point would be the changes suggested by the analyst rather than the stakeholder discourse. On the other hand, a trend toward the automatic generation of artifacts (mostly UML diagrams) from controlled language descriptions is arising. Such trend is making the consistency among diagrams generated easier. Following this trend, we propose in this paper the automated generation of the composite structure diagram from the so-called pre-conceptual schemas, which are devices for knowledge representation.
