Towards a Generic Layout Composition Framework for Domain Specific Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Domain Specific Models with graphical syntax play a big role in Model-Driven Software Development, as do model composition tools. Those tools however, often ignore or destroy layout information which is vital for graphical models. We believe that one reason for the insufficient support for layout information in model composition tools is the lack of generic solutions that are easy to adapt for new graphical modelling languages. Therefore, this paper proposes a language-independent framework for layout preservation and composition as an extension to existing model composition frameworks. We describe the single components of the framework and evaluate it in combination with the Reuseware Composition Framework for layout compositions in two different industrial used languages. We discuss the results of this evaluation and the next steps to be taken.

The creation of a development process is a challenging task. The application, customization and refinement of generic process models into fine-grained process steps suitable for a specific problem domain requires major work. This paper first reviews a generic framework for requirements engineering as well as a domain-specific framework. It then outlines some basic principles for a methodology t...
متن کاملTowards a Framework for Analytics-driven Domain-specific Mashup Environments
Mashup environments enable end users to directly engage in the design process of the information system. Traditional mashup technology offers users generic components and therefore targets technically skilled people. Recent research investigates domain-specific mashup platforms with the aim to be easier to understand and use. We present a proposal for research towards a generic framework that s...
متن کاملVisualization of Traceability Models with Domain-specific Layouting
Traceability models are often used to describe the correspondence between source and target models of model transformations. Although the visual representation of such models are important for transformation development and application, mostly ad-hoc solutions are present in industrial environments. In this paper we present a user interface component for visualizing traceability models inside t...
متن کاملGENERIC CRSs INFINITE - DOMAIN PROBLEMS FINITE - DOMAIN PROBLEMS
The lack of a uni ed framework for constraint problems has resulted in a diversity of constraint solution techniques and methods for describing constraint problems. A uni ed framework would allow the construction of a kernel constraint engine, capable of solving constraint problems composed of models from di erent domains, such as engineering and geometric problems. As a rst step towards such a...
