This document presents a Request for Proposal (RFP) for ESSENSE, which seeks submissions for a domain-specific language and a "Kernel of Essentials" to support flexible software engineering methods. The goal is to allow practitioners to define, refine, and customize their processes over time. The RFP outlines problems with traditional rigid processes, desires a framework like those used in agile development, and provides requirements for the Kernel (to define fundamental concepts) and the language (to compose practices into methods and represent work progress).
The document proposes a lightweight method and domain-specific language (LEAP) for simulating enterprise architecture models. It argues existing EA methods are too large and complex. LEAP combines service-oriented architecture and event-driven architecture concepts. It supports specifying logical and physical EA models and simulating the impact of changes. A case study applies the method to model UK university information requirements. The method uses existing techniques and LEAP provides a unified language for specifying and establishing conformance between models.
A Formal Method for Mapping Software Engineering Practices to Essence ijseajournal
Essence Framework (EF) aims at addressing the core problems of software engineering (SE) and its practices. As a relatively new framework, one important issue for EF has been mapping software practices to its conceptual domain. Although there are several works describing systematic procedures, a review of literature cannot suggest a study using a formal method. The study is conducted according to the guidelines of Design Science Research (DSR) Method. The research contribution is classified as an “application of a new solution (the formal method) to a new problem (mapping software practices to EF). The formal method
employs an algorithm based on Concept Algebra and it is applied in a Scrum case study. The results are promising and they differ from the ones exist in the current EF related literature.
This is a one day workshop presentation, primarily on the new OMG Foundational UML specification for executable model semantics, but also discussing extensions for executable SysML (System Modeling Language) models.
This article is about aspect oriented programming (aop) in spring. the related example of an application with aop support is in the following address :
https://github.com/ghorbanihamid/SpringBoot_AOP_JPA_Example
The document discusses aspect-oriented programming (AOP) which aims to modularize crosscutting concerns in software. It defines aspects as modular units that crosscut other modular units. Aspects can encapsulate concerns like synchronization, failure handling, etc. that crosscut multiple components. AspectJ is presented as an AOP extension to Java that allows defining aspects separately from classes and composing them using pointcuts and advice. Some challenges and open issues with AOP are also discussed.
The document discusses object-oriented design principles and techniques. It describes designing classes through activities like refining attributes and methods. It discusses designing well-defined class visibility and protocols using public, private and protected access modifiers. It also describes using UML activity diagrams and the Object Constraint Language to specify method algorithms and class constraints.
Class Diagram Extraction from Textual Requirements Using NLP Techniquesiosrjce
IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering (IOSR-JCE) is a double blind peer reviewed International Journal that provides rapid publication (within a month) of articles in all areas of computer engineering and its applications. The journal welcomes publications of high quality papers on theoretical developments and practical applications in computer technology. Original research papers, state-of-the-art reviews, and high quality technical notes are invited for publications.
This document presents a new method for extracting class diagrams from textual requirements using natural language processing (NLP) techniques. It proposes the Requirements Analysis and Class diagram Extraction (RACE) system, which uses tools like the OpenNLP parser, a stemming algorithm, and WordNet to extract concepts and identify classes, attributes and relationships. The RACE system applies heuristic rules and a domain ontology to the output of the NLP tools to refine and finalize the extracted class diagram. The paper concludes that the RACE system demonstrates the effective use of NLP techniques to automate the extraction of class diagrams from informal natural language requirements specifications.
Ui Modeling In Action With PMF, e4(XWT) And EGFBENOIT_LANGLOIS
The document discusses UI modeling using PMF and EGF. It introduces PMF as a platform-independent UI modeling tool and EGF as a model-to-text generation framework. It then summarizes how PMF models can be transformed to XWT user interfaces using patterns and factories in EGF. Key benefits highlighted include separating UI development roles, integrating with Eclipse tools, and enabling customizable UI generation.
The document discusses object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). It describes OOAD as modeling a system as interacting objects characterized by their class, state, and behavior. Various UML diagrams can show the static structure, dynamic behavior, and runtime deployment of these collaborating objects. It then discusses object-oriented analysis, design, and the Unified Process framework for software development before briefly introducing UML diagrams.
A framework to performance analysis of software architectural stylesijfcstjournal
Growing and executable system architecture has a significant role in successful production of large and
distributed systems. Assessing the effect of different decisions in architecture design can decrease the time and cost of software production, especially when these decisions are related to non-functional properties of system. Performance is a non-functional property which relates to timing behaviour of system. In this paper
we propose an approach for modelling and analysis of performance in architecture level. To do this,we follow a general process which needs two formal notations for specifying architecture and performance models of system. In this paper we show how Stochastic Process Algebra (SPA) in the form of PEPA language can be used for performance modelling and analysis of software archi
tectures modelled using Graph Transformation System (GTS). To enable architecture model for performance analysis, equivalent PEPA model should be constructed with transformation. Transformed performance model of the
architecture has been analysed through PEPA toolkit for some properties like throughput, sensitivity analysis, response time and utilisation rate. The analysis results have been explained with regard to a realistic case study.

A Program Transformation Technique To Support AOP Within C TemplateCrystal Sanchez
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a program transformation technique to support aspect-oriented programming (AOP) within C++ templates. The paper addresses key challenges in applying AOP to templates, such as how to specify that a crosscutting feature should apply to only a subset of template instantiations. It presents initial pointcut language constructs for C++ templates and describes how a source-to-source preprocessor uses program transformation to implement the weaving of advice into template code. The technique is aimed at improving modularization of concerns in large template libraries for scientific computing.
The document provides an introduction to Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD). It discusses the key concepts of object orientation including objects, classes, attributes, methods, and interactions through message passing. It also describes the Unified Process, a popular iterative software development process used for object oriented systems. The phases of the Unified Process include Inception, Elaboration, Construction, Transition, and Production. Finally, it introduces various UML diagrams used in OOAD including use case diagrams, class diagrams, object diagrams, activity diagrams, and their applications and examples.

Towards Enterprise Interoperability Service UtilitiesBrian Elvesæter
This document discusses the development of baseline enterprise interoperability (EI) services as part of the COIN project. It provides an overview of EI challenges and proposes an EI services framework. A state-of-the-art analysis of existing EI tools from FP6 projects is presented. Based on this, 11 proposed baseline EI services across various categories like model-driven, semantic mediation, and data interoperability are described. The benefits of these services for reducing integration costs and enabling collaboration are highlighted. The conclusions discuss positioning the COIN platform to offer these EI services as utilities according to the Software-as-a-Service model.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Alpha
Similar in concepts, but an Activity in Essence additionally defines completion criteria.
Role allows to author responsibilities of work products and performers of tasks in SPEM.
Essence does not specify the concept of a role and advices to use the Pattern concept to
define roles. The rationale is that definitions of roles may differ from method to method.
Categories (both default and custom) are used to structure the elements of SPEM
content, e.g. to support navigability in the published guidance. Essence provides the
concept of a Tag (not discussed in the illustrative example) that allows adding user
defined or tool specific information.
The Essence language does not differentiate between a specific guidance concept and
other concepts such as Activity (which basically contains guidance for performing the
work).
SPEM defines Practice as a specific type of Guidance that can reference any element
defined in SPEM. Essence on the other hand introduces Practice as a specific concept in
the language which allows more operational semantics to support composition etc. to be
formalized and better supported by tooling.
If additional guidance types are needed the advice is to use Patterns or Resources.
The Activity, Capability Pattern and Delivery Process concepts in SPEM allows to define
work breakdown structures and reusable process content. The Essence language allows
activity associations between abstract activities (which are either Activity Spaces or
Activities) to represent a relationship or dependency between activities.
The Alpha concept does not have an equivalent in the SPEM 2.0 specification, and is
essential to the underlying method architecture of the Essence language to monitor, track
and drive method enactment based on alpha states and completion criteria.
