Towards a General Composition Semantics for Rule-Based Model Transformation
As model transformations have become an integral part of the automated software engineering lifecycle, reuse, modularisation, and composition of model transformations becomes important. One way to compose model transformations is to compose modules of transformation rules, and execute the composition as one transformation (internal composition). This kind of composition can provide fine-grained semantics, as it
Generating operation specifications from UML class diagrams: A model transformation approach
My paper “Generating operation specifications from UML class diagrams: A model transformation approach” (together WITH Manoli Albert, Cristina Gómez AND Vicente Pelechano) has just been accepted FOR publication IN the
Data & Knowledge Engineering Journal.
Top 10 posts on business process modeling in the ARIS community (including mine)
SOME TIME ago I wrote a blog post FOR the Aris community (digital home OF ALL ARIS AND BPM geeks around the world) discussing the importance OF modeling the social aspects OF sofware processes .
Who owns the copyright when implementing an algorithm described in a journal?
Curious question IN the business OF software forum : “If I implement an algorithm published in a computer science journal using the formulas, pseudocode and description in the publication, do I retain the copyright of my source code?”
On the semantics of (real-time) Domain Specific Modeling Languages
Last week I attended the PhD Thesis defense of José E. Rivera (thesis supervised by Antonio Vallecillo and Francisco Durán ) proposing a method for the formal definition of Domain specific modeling languages (DSMLs).
IMHO, the thesis covers an important gap in Model-driven engineering. Right now, many people tend to believe that by defining the concrete and abstract syntax (i.e.
Modeling social aspects of (software) processes
CHECK the blog post I´ve written FOR the ARIS Community blog (digital home OF ALL ARIS AND BPM geeks around the world) discussing the importance OF modeling the social aspects OF sofware processes.
Cite our modeling papers not only our modeling tools (thanks)
In AtlanMod , we are very proud of the large user base of our tools and of the benefits (and challenges!) that this brings to the team.
UML class diagrams easier to understand than ER diagrams
Greg Wilson pointed me to the paper A. De Lucia, C. Gravino, R. Oliveto, G. Tortora, An Experimental Comparison of ER and UML Class Diagrams for Data Modelling, Empirical Software Engineering (2010) 15:455492 (if you cannot access the paper, you may try directly contacting the authors).
The paper presents the results of three sets of controlled experiments aimed at
analyzing whether UML class diagrams are more comprehensible than ER diagrams
during data models maintenance.
Combining Model Driven Engineering and Cloud Computing: MaaS (Modeling as a Service)
After a FIRST brainstorming SESSION , we have developed our ideas about how cloud computing can change the way people use model-driven engineering nowadays.
