Transformational Stereotypes: A Support for Transforming UML models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic model transformations can be regarded as the main element of model driven software development. For models created with the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) the task of defining transformations is believed to have been accompanied with creation of auxiliary elements that allow tackling the problems of ambiguity of UML. One of such auxiliary elements can be a stereotype. Stereotypes created for the purpose of supporting transformations have specific properties and should be used in a specific way. In this paper we elaborate the specific type of stereotypes – transformational stereotypes. Based on the observations and an investigation of several UML profiles that are used in industry, in this paper we show properties of such stereotypes and provide guidelines on how the transformational stereotypes should be used and created.

متن کاملExtending profiles with stereotypes for composite concepts1
This paper proposes an extension of the UML 2.0 profiling mechanism. This extension facilitates a language designer to introduce composite concepts as separate conceptual and notational elements in a modelling language. Composite concepts are compositions of existing concepts. To facilitate the introduction of composite concepts, the notion of stereotype is extended. This extension defines how ...
متن کاملEmpirical assessment of using stereotypes to improve comprehension of UML models: A set of experiments
Stereotypes were introduced into the Unified Modeling Language to provide means of customizing this general purpose modeling language for its usage in specific application domains. The primary role of stereotypes is to brand an existing model element with specific semantics, but stereotypes can also be used to provide means of a secondary classification of modeling elements. This paper elaborat...
متن کاملTools for Critical Systems Development with UML (Tool Demo)
The high quality development of critical systems (be it dependable, security-critical, real-time, or performance-critical systems) is difficult. Many critical systems are developed, deployed, and used that do not satisfy their criticality requirements, sometimes with spectacular failures. UML offers an opportunity for high-quality critical systems development that is feasible in an industrial c...
