Abstract: Mobile UML (M-UML) has been proposed as an extension of UML to model mobile agent-based software systems. As UML, M-UML suffers from lack of formal semantics due to its semi-formal nature which penalize the verification of correct behavior of the modeled systems. This paper provides a graphical yet formal approach for the modeling, simulation and verification of mobile statechart diagrams using graph transformations in the AToM3 tool. The authors have firstly proposed meta-models for mobile statechart diagram and flowgraph. Then, a twofold graph grammar is developed for the automatic mapping of mo-bile statechart diagrams into flowgraphs and in the same time generates the cor-responding p-calculus specification. This graph grammar enables either execu-tion through simulation by flowgraphs or verification through model checking, using existing tools (e.g. the Mobility Workbench, MWB). An illustrative example of the authors' approach is provided.
