Abstract
In this paper, we propose an idea of viewing use cases as active objects in the analysis model. Based on the idea, we present a new approach to use case-driven object-oriented analysis. This approach gives a systematic and natural way of incorporating use cases into the analysis model, and an effective way of localizing the effect of requirement changes.

A Meta-Model Based Approach to UML Modelling
UKSIM '08: Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Computer Modeling and SimulationThis paper is devoted to a meta-model based approach to UML systems modelling. The approach allows creating a system model by operating with artefacts from the problem domain, followed by generation of a UML model. The discussed approach is illustrated ...
Automatic generation of feature models from UML requirement models
SPLC '12: Proceedings of the 16th International Software Product Line Conference - Volume 2It is well known that during the domain requirement engineering phase with UML, both feature models and UML notations (e.g. UML use case diagrams and activity diagrams for describing use cases) are necessary. The development in parallel of UML models ...
A Configurable UML Based Use Case Modeling Metamodel
ECBS-EERC '09: Proceedings of the 2009 First IEEE Eastern European Conference on the Engineering of Computer Based SystemsThere is a variety of approaches to use case modeling, especially regarding their textual description as their true form. Under certain circumstances, the use of each one of these approaches may be justified. A consistent application of a particular ...
