Supporting Tool Reuse with Model Transformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software components provide a wide range of functionality that can be used across several domains. In some cases, reuse at a very coarse level of granularity (e.g., reusing functionality provided within an existing tool) is desirable, but challenging to realize due to the interface boundaries of the tool and the unanticipated level of reuse. This paper describes our results in applying domain-specific modeling and model transformation to the tool reuse problem. Specifically, we describe our results in reusing the graphical layout functionality provided by one tool (called GraphViz) that does not exist natively in another tool, such as the Eclipse Graphical Modeling Framework.

Supporting Model-to-Model Transformations: The VMT Approach
The model-driven architecture approach (MDA) promotes software development as driven by a thorough modeling phase where application code is automatically generated from a platform specific UML model (PSM). The idea is that the PSM is itself derived from a platform independent UML model (PIM). Such code generation and model derivation are examples of model-to-model transformations. This paper pr...
متن کاملA Vision for a Semantic Infrastructure Supporting Model-based Tool Integration
With the rise of model-driven software development, more and more development tasks are being performed on models. Seamless exchange of models among different modeling tools increasingly becomes a crucial prerequisite for effective software development processes. Due to lack of interoperability, however, it is often difficult to use tools in combination, thus the potential of model-driven softw...
متن کاملSupporting Aspects in Mda
For developing large and complex applications, industrial practice uses a combination of nonformal notations and methods. Different notations are used to specify the properties of different aspects of an application and these specifications are transformed into their corresponding implementations through the steps of a development process. The development process relies heavily on manual verifi...
متن کاملChange Propagation in an Internal Model Transformation Language
Despite good results, Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) has not been widely adopted in industry. According to studies by Staron and Mohaghegi [1], [2], the lack of tool support is one of the major reasons for this. Although MDE has existed for more than a decade now, tool support is still insufficient. An approach to overcome this limitation for model transformations, which are a key part of MDE, ...
متن کاملReusable Model Transformation Components with bentō
Building high-quality transformations that can be used in real projects is complex and time-consuming. For this reason, the ability to reuse existing transformations in different, unforeseen scenarios is very valuable. However, there is scarce tool support for this task. This paper presents bentō, a tool which supports the development and execution of reusable transformation components. In bent...
