Engineering of software-intensive systems is concerned with the creation and evolution of systems that shall exhibit desired properties in their execution as well as development environment. In this context, the motivation of this thesis, derived from curr ...
Precise modeling is essential to the success of the OMG's Model Driven Architecture initiative. At the modeling level (M1) OCL allows for the precision needed to write executable models. Can OCL be extended to become a full high-level executable language w ...
The syntax of modeling languages is usually defined in two steps. The abstract syntax identifies modeling concepts whereas the concrete syntax clarifies how these modeling concepts are rendered by visual and/or textual elements. While the abstract syntax i ...
Refactorings represent a powerful approach for improving the quality of software systems. A refactoring can be seen as a special kind of behavior preserving model transformation. The Object Constraint Language (OCL) together with the metamodel of Unified M ...
Metamodeling became in the last decade a widely accepted tool to describe the (abstract) syntax of modeling languages in a concise, but yet precise way. For the description of the language's semantics, the situation is less satisfactory and formal semantic ...
Refactoring is a powerful technique to improve the quality of software models including implementation code. The software developer applies successively so-called refactoring rules on the current software model and transforms it into a new model. Ideally, ...
The role of UML models in software development has changed considerably over the last years. While UML was used in its early days mostly as a notation for sketching ideas, developers more and more recognize now the value of a UML model as a formal document ...
This paper presents a semantic foundation of temporal conceptual models used to design temporal information systems. We consider a modelling language able to express both timestamping and evolution constraints. We conduct a deeper investigation of evolutio ...
Language-centric methodologies, triggered by the success of Domain Specific Languages, rely on precise specifications of modeling languages. While the definition of the abstract syntax is standardized by the 4-layer metamodel architecture of the OMG, most ...
Refactoring is a powerful technique to improve the quality of software models including implementation code. The software developer applies successively so-called refactoring rules on the current software model and transforms it into a new model. Ideally, ...
