Abstract

Real-time and embedded systems may be left on unexpected states because system’s user can generate some incident events in various conditions. Although the UML 2.0 sequence diagrams recently incorporate several modelling features for embedded software, they have some difficulties to depict unexpected behaviours of embedded software conveniently. In this paper, we propose some extensions to UML 2.0 sequence diagrams to model unexpected behaviours of embedded software. We newly introduce notations to describe exceptions and interrupts. Our new extensions make the sequence diagrams simple and easy to read in describing such unexpected behaviours. These features are explained and proved with an example of call-setup procedure of CDMA mobile phone.
