We present, in this paper, a framework supporting a formal verification of concurrent UML models using the Maude language. We consider both static and dynamic features of concurrent object-oriented systems. We focus on UML class, state and communication diagrams. The formal and object-oriented language Maude, based on rewriting logic, supports formal specification and programming of concurrent systems, as well as model checking. The major motivations of this work are: (1) translating concurrent
