While component diagram is used for modeling the system structures, sequence diagram is extended with the Design-by-Contract approach for the modeling of system behaviors. In this paper, we aim at enhancing the language usability by providing alternative modeling choices for practitioners. To this end, we extended SAWUML's notation set with UML's activity diagram for the behavior modeling. So, practitioners may now use either sequence or activity diagrams, while the system structures are still modeled with component diagrams. We also extended SAWUML's modeling editor for creating software architecture models together with component and activity diagrams and the code generators for automatically obtaining (i) formal models in SPIN's ProMeLa for formal verification and (ii) Java-based implementation. We illustrate our language extension with the gas station case-study. © 2020 Polish Information Processing Society - as it is since 2011.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessUMLSAWUMLMetaeditTool EvaluationJava ImplementationTowards extending UML's activity diagram for the architectural modeling, analysis, and implementationConference Object10.15439/2020F1996396482-s2.0-85095723605N/A
