Ontological evaluation of the specification framework proposed by the “Standardized Specification of Business Components” memorandum – some preliminary results
نویسندگان
چکیده
The specification framework for business components proposed by the research group Component Oriented Business Application System defines seven specification levels of business components. According to this framework several notations are used to describe a business component, e. g. the OMG Interface Definition Language (OMG IDL) and the Object Constraint Language (OCL). The specification framework implicitly claims to allow a complete specification of a business component. However, this proposition is not justified by the authors of the specification framework. In this paper, we use the Bunge-WandWeber-model (BWW-model) to evaluate the specification frameworks completeness. The BWW-model has already been used for the evaluation of several other modeling grammars. This study demonstrates that the proposed approach is feasible. Based on the preliminary findings, we suggest some directions for further developments of the specification framework.

متن کاملResiduals based process capability indices for two-stage processes
The manufacturing operations often involve multistage processes where the process capability of each stage is affected by the process capability of its precedent processes. This property is known as the cascade property. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the process capability of the second stage of two-stage process while the cascade property impact is removed using residuals analysis. ...

متن کاملWeb Service Choreography Verification Using Z Formal Specification
Web Service Choreography Description Language (WS-CDL) describes and orchestrates the services interactions among multiple participants. WS-CDL verification is essential since the interactions would lead to mismatches. Existing works verify the messages ordering, the flow of messages, and the expected results from collaborations. In this paper, we present a Z specification of WS-CDL. Besides ve...
