Abstract
IDEF is a widely used methodology for traditional structured software development. As object-oriented softwares are widely used, an object-oriented version of IDEF, IDEF4, is developed. UML is de facto standard for object-oriented software development methods. Whereas IDEF is widely used for CALS/EC, UML is used for general object-oriented software development. Most software developers are not familiar with IDEF4 but familiar with UML. Moreover, UML has many CASE tools. So we can develop software efficiently if we convert IDEF4 model to UML model. In this paper, we transform IDEF4 models to UML models. We explain the rules and methods to convert IDEF4 model to UML model and applied the transform methods and rules to a case study.
