UML <-> Erlang

[Jérôme Desquilbet]

There may be an impedance mismatch between UML (object-oriented) and 
Erlang (functional and process-oriented). Not to say that it is 
impossible, but to say that several different approaches to map UML and 
Erlang could be equally valid.
The best I think would be to start from example, like yours maybe, and 
see what it would give in UML. Then to generalize and define precise 
mapping rules, that could be implemented in a tool. I am curious to see 
examples of the mappings you have in mind.
Thanks,
   Jérôme.
