As a step toward the precise semantics of Unified Modeling Language (UML), this article uses the Z notation to develop formal specifications for two important parts of UML, i.e., class diagrams and sequence diagrams, and to formulate an appropriate interpretation structure for discussing the model t

We develop a formal semantics of sequence diagrams. The semantics is given in terms of our new temporal logic, named HDTL, which is designed to specify dynamically evolving systems. This approach allows to facilitate the generic feature of sequence diagrams as well as an automatic analysis, the identification of the instances of a sequence diagram over a trace.
