Abstract
The emergence of Unified Modeling Language (UML) as a standard for modeling systems has encouraged the use of automated software tools that facilitate the development process from analysis through coding. The UML state machine diagram is used for modeling the dynamic aspects of systems and includes many concepts that are not present in most popular programming languages, like Java or C++. There exists a gap between high level modeling language and a programming language. This paper proposes an approach to narrow the gap between multiple UML models and an implemented system. The narrowing of gap is achieved by generating compact and efficient Java code directly from UML state machine having sequential and concurrent substates. The code generation is achieved by creating a mapping between UML behavior and the Java programming language. Our model can work as a basis for automatic code generation for object-oriented systems.
