Model and Criteria for the Automated Refactoring of the UML Class Diagrams
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many papers have been written on the challenges of the software refactoring. The question is which refactorings can be applied on the modelling level. Based on the UML model, for example. With the aim of evaluating this possibility the algorithm and the software tool of automated UML class diagram refactoring were introduced. The software tool proposed reduces the level of the UML class diagram complexity metric. Keywords—UML; refactoring; class diagrams; software architecture; software design; UML transformation

Mapping UML Class Diagrams to Object-Oriented Logic Programs for Formal Model-Driven Development
MODELOG aims at automatically mapping UML class, object, statechart, activity and collaboration diagrams adorned with Object-Constraint Language expressions to non-monotonic, dynamic, object-oriented logic programs in Concurrent Transaction Frame Logic (CTFL). Coupled with the Flora2 inference engine for CTFL, MODELOG will fill five gaps in the current UML-based infrastructure for the Common Wa...
متن کاملM-REFACTOR: A New Approach and Tool for Model Refactoring
We present a new approach and tool (MRefactor) for model refactoring; we propose an extension of the UML metamodel for the assisted Model Driven Refactoring (MDR). Based on model qualities metrics and design flaws, we propose a new demarche allowing the automated detection of model refactoring opportunities and the assisted model restructuration. Precisely we focus on class and sequence diagrams.
متن کاملFormal Refactoring for UML Class Diagrams
Refactoring UML models for evolution is usually carried out in an ad hoc way. These transformations can become an issue, since it is hard to ensure that the semantics of models is preserved. We provide a set of semantics-preserving transformations for UML class diagrams annotaded with OCL. Using the proposed transformations, software designers can safely define larger transformations and detect...
متن کاملRefactoring of UML models using AGG
Model refactoring is an emerging research topic that is heavily inspired by refactoring of object-oriented programs. Current-day UML modeling environments provide poor support for evolving UML models and applying refactoring techniques at model level. As UML models are intrinsically graph-based in nature we propose to use graph transformations to specify and apply model refactoring. More in par...
متن کاملSynchronizing Refactored UML Class Diagrams and OCL Constraints
UML class diagrams are usually annotated with OCL expressions that constrain their possible instantiation. In our work we have investigated how OCL annotations can be automatically updated each time the underlying diagram is refactored. All our refactoring rules are formally specified using a QVT-based graphical formalism and have been implemented in our tool ROCLET. I. REFACTORING CLASS DIAGRA...
