FAMIX: Exchange Experiences with CDIF and XMI
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the FAMOOS project we have developed a set of tools for reengineering object-oriented legacy systems. These tools are based on the FAMIX meta model and exchange information using CDIF, an industry standard exchange format. For several reasons XMI, an emerging standard for information exchange, has appealed to us to be used as our interchange format. In this paper we discuss why XMI is interesting for us and what, to our current experience, are the advantages and disadvantages of XMI over CDIF.

ion power of a logic programming language to do grouping. Hence it has support for intentional and extensional grouping, which is used to express design patterns and software architectures. Because of its integration with Smalltalk, the model is extensible. When the model needs to encompass new kinds of entities, only some reification rules have to be added to make those entities explicit in SO...
متن کاملFAMIX and XMI
Recently exchange formats have gained lots of attention. Multiple tools need to interact and/or work on the same software system. Especially there is a need to reuse parser technology. Within the FAMOOS project we have developed a model for representing object-oriented software systems at the program entity level. The model has been designed for language independence, extensibility and informat...
متن کاملCDIF as the Interchange Format between Reengineering Tools
Tool support is recognised as a key issue in the reengineering of large scale object-oriented systems. However, due to the heterogeneity in today’s object-oriented programming languages, it is hard to reuse reengineering tools across legacy systems. This paper proposes a language independent exchange model, so that tools may perform their tasks independent of the underlying programming language...

متن کاملGeneric XMI-Based UML Model Transformations
XML-based Metadata Interchange (XMI) is an interchange format for metadata defined in terms of the MOF standard. In addition to supporting the exchange of complete models, XMI supports the exchange of models in differential form. Our paper builds on this feature to examine the possibility of XMI-based generic transformations of UML models. A generic transformation can be configured to generate ...
