In this article, we present an approach to defining UML diagrams in terms of state predicates and using the theorem prover PVS (Prototype Verification System) to verify consistency between various diagrams. We focus on the dynamic aspects of the various diagrams. Our approach can easily handle partially specified systems as the behaviour is described in terms of the history of the computation.
