In late 2001, the Object Management Group issued a Request for Proposal to develop a testing profile for UML 2.0. In June 2003, the work on the UML 2.0 Testing Profile was finally adopted by the OMG. Since March 2004, it has become an official standard of the OMG. The UML 2.0 Testing Profile provides support for UML based model-driven testing. This paper introduces a methodology on how to use t...

Over the past few years OMG CORBA implementations have matured. Consequently, organizations are now developing sophisticated distributed applications based on OMG standards. Many of these applications may be characterized as being multi-language implementations, running as multiple interdependent processes within a multi-vendor hardware and software environment. While ORB vendors address the de...

Distributed real-time applications have presented the need to extend the Object Management Group's (OMG) Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard to support real-time. The OMG has formed a real-time special interest group (RT SIG) to specify requirements for extending CORBA for realtime. One of these requirements involves providing global scheduling of all executions to suppor...

This document presents the Modelica Modeling Language (ModelicaML) a UML Profile for Modelica. The purpose of the ModelicaML is to enable an efficient and effective way to create, read or understand, and maintain Modelica models. ModelicaML is defined as a graphical notation and facilitates different views (composition, inheritance, behavior) on Modelica models. It is based on a subset of the O...

OMG’s Model Driven Architecture [5] demonstrates how a system’s specification model can be used within the process of creating supporting software implementations. This article documents the findings of an experiment aimed at determining the extent to which this method of software engineering can be used within the domain of e-Enterprise systems.

Micro- and smart grids (MSG) play an important role both for integrating renewable energy sources in electricity providing power supply remote areas. Modern MSGs are largely driven by electronic converters due to their high efficiency flexibility. Controlling is a challenging task requirements of availability, safety voltage quality within wide range different MSG topologies resulting demand co...

Real-time distributed applications such as automated factory control, command and control, avionic navigation and simulation have presented the need to extend the Object Management Group's (OMG) Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) standard to support real-time. A real-time SIG (CORBA/RT) has been formed in the OMG and is developing a set of desired capabilities for this extension....
