Abstract: This paper deals with the formalization of Unified Modeling language (UML) by means of Petri Nets. In order to improve the semantics of UML dynamic diagrams, we define a new method of embedding UML StateCharts into Interval Timed Petri Nets (ITPN). This method considers all kinds of hierarchical states together with the most of pseudo-states like history ones. Besides consistencies analysis, time intervals of ITPN model well event generation and dispatching delays making it possible to achieve performance and time properties analysis of complex systems.
