Macro-level Traceability Via Media Transformations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes an alternative approach to the examination of artifacts whose contents must be traceable to promote software quality. The approach places emphasis on media use and media transformations. We suggest that one cannot begin to assign and sustain traceability relations at a micro-level between units of content if the sign systems that have been created and transformed to represent this content are not considered at a more macro-level. Our approach is anticipatory, feasible to automate and exemplified.

Analysis of Crosscutting in Model Transformations
This paper describes an approach for the analysis of crosscutting in model transformations in the Model Driven Architecture (MDA). Software architectures should be amenable to changes in user requirements and technological platforms. Impact analysis of changes can be based on traceability of architectural design elements. Design elements have dependencies with other software artifacts but also ...
متن کاملTraceability in Model to Text Transformations
Traceability has been held as an important factor in Model Driven Development. This paper takes a look at traceability related to model to text transformations. This is done through presenting scenarios and needs for such traceability and presenting a possible solution to the challenge. Examples of how the proposed solution works have been included using concrete examples of models and transfor...
متن کاملTowards a traceability framework for model transformations in Kermeta
Implementing a model transformation is a very complex task and in an MDA process, chains of model transformations are usually built. When writing such a transformation chain, developers often need to have information on the previously applied transformations. Thus, disposing of a traceability framework enabling to gather information on the transformation behavior is an important feature for a t...
متن کاملFill in the Gap: A New Alliance for Social and Natural Sciences
In the last few years, electronic media brought a revolution in the traceability of social phenomena. As particles in a bubble chamber, social trajectories leave digital trails that can be analyzed to gain a deeper understanding of collective life. To make sense of these traces a renewed collaboration between social and natural scientists is needed. In this paper, we claim that current research...
متن کاملAutomatic Support for Traceability in a Generic Model Management Framework
In a MDA process, software artifacts are refined from the problem space (requirements) to the solution space (application). A model refinement involves the application of operators that perform tasks over models such as integrations and transformations, among others. We are working on a model management framework, called MOMENT (MOdel manageMENT), where model operators are defined independently...
