A Common Basis for Modelling Service-Oriented and Event-Driven ArchitectureClarkTony
This document discusses modeling service-oriented and event-driven architectures. It proposes a language-driven approach using a domain-specific modeling language for enterprise architecture that supports components, information models, invariants, business process specifications, and events. Current modeling techniques like ArchiMate, MODAF and TOGAF are described as complex, imprecise and lacking capabilities like simulation. A case study and simulation results are also mentioned but not described.
The document discusses model-driven development approaches for context-aware reactive applications (CARA), beginning with definitions of context-aware and reactive applications, and then exploring modelling techniques like UML profiles and the widget calculus formalism for representing CARA models, with examples including a simple button model and the "Buddy" mobile phone contact application case study.
The document presents a general framework for slicing programs and models. It defines a slicing framework with syntax, semantics, projections, and slicing criteria. It applies the framework to program slicing examples and proposes adapting it for model slicing. The framework is then demonstrated on a class model case study, showing how slicing can reduce models for comprehension and debugging.
This document discusses XMF and XModeler. XMF is an executable modeling framework that can be used for model-driven language engineering. It includes features like meta-modeling, reflection, and code generation templates. XModeler is an Eclipse-based modeling tool built using XMF.

It provides an overview of domains that require constraint modeling like telecommunications and aerospace. It then describes ISWIM's visual constraint language and how snapshots can represent constraints. The document outlines how a testing architecture could use an ISWIM model to generate test cases, check invariants and pre/post conditions, and report results. The approach was implemented in a tool that tests a sample sales system model.
The document discusses using the ISWIM (Integrated Semantic Web Inference Model) approach to model constraints for testing purposes in a model-driven way. It describes using ISWIM constraints represented as snapshots to specify test cases, including static scenarios, invariants and method pre/post-conditions. It then presents an example of modeling a sales system using ISWIM constraints to generate test cases for validating the system.
The MCMS project aims to (1) detect patterns in institutional data that indicate student retention issues, (2) develop an approach for real-time student support and intervention to address retention, and (3) provide high-quality information to support institutional decision making. The process involves using data mining to analyze student data and identify relationships between performance and factors like year of study, library usage, and nationality. Interventions are then developed based on the findings, such as emails, reports, and feedback to students and faculty. Additionally, an Intelligent Decision Support SIG is being formed to address issues around decision support technologies, data integration and sharing, and engaging stakeholders to develop a roadmap for the sector.
1) The document describes a MOP-based DSL for testing Java programs using OCL specifications.
2) The DSL uses OCL pre and post conditions to specify tests in an @MSpec block, and @Test blocks to define test cases calling multiple @MSpecs.
3) The approach maps Java classes to XMF metaclasses, allowing OCL to access Java objects and invoke methods, handling different implementations like Java or EMF.
This document proposes an approach called Syntax Classes for defining domain-specific languages (DSLs) in an extensible way within Java. It allows new languages to be defined as classes that implement a standard interface for abstract syntax trees. This provides a modular and conservative approach to DSL definition that fully integrates new languages into the Java platform and tooling. Syntax classes provide a standardized mechanism for defining the syntax, static processing, and execution of DSL code through grammar definitions, AST manipulation, and language import capabilities. Examples of DSL constructs that could be defined include vector operations, data mapping, and entity definitions.
Reverse engineering and theory building v3ClarkTony
The document discusses reverse engineering through theory building. It proposes that understanding complex systems involves building theories about the domain and system aspects. These theories consist of statements and relationships that explain different views of the system. The document also presents a case study of developing theories to understand issues in a library management system and modifying the theories based on deductions from reality.
The document discusses the concept of language factories, which aim to support the definition and construction of programming languages in a component-based way. This would allow for greater reuse of common language components, more agile language engineering, and language refactoring and analysis. Some key goals of language factories include supporting reuse of language syntax, semantics, and tools, as well as enabling flexible composition of language components to build new languages. Examples of reusable expression and measurement language components are provided.
Formalizing homogeneous language embeddingsClarkTony
This document discusses formalizing homogeneous language embeddings using a mu-calculus model. It proposes a model for embedding one language into another using evaluation, loading, and unloading functions. It provides examples of embedding a language into itself using fixed point operators, and using let bindings to embed one language into another. Further work is needed on parsing, static analysis, logics for combining languages, and practical considerations.
- The document discusses model-driven testing using "filmstrips" and "snapshots" to generate test cases from models of a system. Filmstrips are sequences of snapshot patterns that represent system states.
- A case study is presented that uses extended use cases with filmstrips to test a hotel booking system. An approach to defining a domain-specific language for filmstrips is also described.
- A demo is presented of a language for testing Java applications using filmstrips to specify test cases and connect them to a Java application and test reporting.
1. Domain Specific Modelling can be viewed as a form of theory building, where a domain is understood by developing theories about it consisting of true statements.
2. Traditionally, programming is seen as implementing a theory, but modelling languages treat the domain weakly and lack support for truly representing theories.
3. The paper proposes enhancing modelling languages to more fully support domain theories, including defining syntax, semantics, and mappings between theories and implementations.
The document outlines the goals and values of the Knowledge Industry Survival Strategy (KISS) initiative, which aims to reach consensus on fundamental principles for designing and using domain-specific languages (DSLs) and progress interoperability between tools. It presents 9 fundamental DSL design principles and 6 guidelines for DSL design. Finally, it invites readers to get involved by supporting KISS, providing examples and case studies, and developing interoperability solutions based on the presented principles and guidelines.
Model driven development promised faster development, increased quality, and better maintainability through automated code generation from models. In reality, modeling tools like UML were not domain-specific enough and could not bridge the gap between problem and solution domains. True model driven engineering requires domain-specific modeling languages that support building and executing theories of the system being developed.

3. In
a
nutshell
• UCD
processes
and
arMfacts
are
ambiguous
and
lack
precision.
Even
the
the
more
“model”
based
methods
do
not
have
sufficient
semanMcs.
• A
model
driven
approach
to
language
design
is
proposed
and
Contextual
design
models
such
as
“Cultural
Models”
are
given
a
language
treatment
to
support
the
development
of
bespoke
tools.

4. User
centred
design
and
Model
driven
• UCD
development
– Users
as
equal
partners
in
the
design
process
-‐
but
involving
users
can
present
problems
– HCI
and
SE:
A
cultural
gap
• SE
pracMce
evolving
towards
model
driven
development
(MDD)
– MDD
–
offers
greater
affordance
to
address
representaMon
gap
between
understanding
and
implementaMon
– a
greater
focus
on
precision
– Support
for
mulMple
viewpoints
and
transformaMons
between
viewpoints
• RecogniMon
of
tension
between:
– Lack
of
precision
of
UCD
one
side
– and
alienaMon
of
users
in
MDD
approaches

7. Key
problems
• User
types
– An
applicaMon
that
goes
across
mulMple
device
types
and
has
different
user
types
of
differing
experience
• Users
as
designers
– Users
can
have
important
and
relevant
ideas
but
they
are
not
designers
• New
technologies
– Many
new
emerging
technologies
–
users
do
not
have
knowledge
to
understand
the
enMre
ecology
of
technology
• Work
environments
– Limited
knowledge
at
management
level
– Work
pressures
• Deployment
risk
– Fear
of
coping
with
technology
– The
profession
of
Social
Work
is
high
risk
– PrecauMonary
risk
–
data
security.
• User
confusion
of
what
they
want
and
what
they
need

8. A
model
driven
language
engineering
approach
• Model
driven
principles
• Language
definiMon
– Concrete
syntax
– Abstract
syntax
– SemanMc
domain
– Mappings
(syntax,
semanMcs)
• Meta
modelling
language
– For
the
abstract
language
–
it
can
be
UML.
• Tooling

9. Contextual
Design
• Contextual
Design
(Beyer
and
Holzblaj
2001)
– Rich
in
UCD
and
has
affinity
with
SE
approaches
• Focus
on
arMfacts,
where
and
how
work
is
done;
intuiMve
elements
of
the
environment.
• Subset
of
key
models
include:
– ArMfact
model,
Flow
Model,
Sequence
Model
and
Cultural
Model

of
Cultural
Models
• Arrow

• Size

• What
does
an
overlap
mean?
• Requires
human
analysis
• Issues
of

between

UCD
• UCD
is
strong
on
user
engagement
but
the
arMfacts
cannot
be
easily
transformed
to
support
mulMple
viewpoints
– Design

12. A
DSL
for
Contextual
Design
• Abstract
Syntax
– The
cornerstone
of
a
language
definiMon
– We
define
an
abstract
syntax
for
the
main
models
in
the
CD
modelling
language
• Flow
models
• ArMfact
models
(equivalent
to
class
models
in
UML
so
not
considered
further)
• Cultural
models
• Sequence
models

13. Abstract
Syntax:
Flow
Model
• Model
is
the
top-‐level
container
• A
Model
consists
of
a
collecMon
of
roles
with
flows
between
them
• Each
flow
represents
an
interacMon
between
roles
and
is
labelled
with
the
event
generated
by
it,
the
arMfacts
involved.
• Well-‐formedness:
every
role
must
have
a
unique
name
10/12/10
HCSE

14. Abstract
Syntax:
Cultural
Model
• Each
Influence
has
a
Force
associated
with
it
(weak
to
strong)
• Each
role
manages
a
collecMon
of
personal
beliefs
(Values)
• An
Influence
together
with
its
Force
defines
a
condiMon
which
must
be
met
by
any
valid
instance
of
Values
associated
with
an
influenced
Role.
• Well-‐formedness:
Influence:
the
set
of
variable
names
in
the
condi8on
must
be
a
subset
of
the
value
type
names
associated
with
the
belief
values
of
an
influenced
role.

15. Abstract
Syntax:
Sequence
Model
• Each
Role
has
an
Interface
of
AcMviMes.
• Each
AcMvity
has
a
number
of
alternaMve
step
assemblies
(Steps)
that
reflect
the
opMons
that
an
individual
performs
in
response
to
an
event.
• Each
individual
step
processes
arMfacts
and
must
saMsfy
a
collecMon
of
belief
values.
• The
idea
is
that
a
step
cannot
be
performed
unless
it
is
consistent
with
the
beliefs
of
an
individual.

16. Concrete
Syntax
• The
complete
abstract
syntax
for
CD
is
large
so
we
focus
on
the
Cultural
Forces
model
as
it
addresses
areas
of
the
systems
design
process
not
normally
addressed.
• TranslaMon
into
GOPRR
meta
modelling
syntax
for
MetaEdit+.
• The
tool
supports
the
creaMon
of
a
concrete
syntax
–
the
notaMons
and
graphical
elements
and
their
binding
to
the
GOPRR
equivalent
of
the
abstract
syntax.

19. Concluding
remarks
• Our
moMvaMng
example
illustrated
the
problem
that
arises
when
core
arMfacts
from
the
UCD
process
do
not
readily
translate
to
the
so_ware
engineering
community
• Need
to
converge
on
a
science
of
design
– How
can
outputs
from
UCD
be
modeled
so
that
they
can
be
integrated
with
SE
pracMce
• CD
appears
to
be
useful
bridging
methodology
– But
CD
has
an
informal
semanMcs
–
this
limits
tooling
opportuniMes
• We
have
described
CD
can
be
given
a
formal
syntax
and
we
have
outlined
semanMcs
for
the
method
• Issues
of
evaluaMon
–
will
UCD
experts
use
such
tools?
