![]() The current standard Unified Modeling Language( UML) could not model framework flexibility and extendability adequately due to lack of appropriate constructs to distinguish framework hot-spots from kernel elements. The critical success factors for their implementation include, among others, management and staff commitment, proper corporate infrastructure, and user training. While CASE and UML offer inherent advantages like cheaper, shorter, and efficient development cycles, they suffer from poor user satisfaction. It identifies managerial issues for the tools' adoption and recommends an action plan to select and implement them. This article analyzes the state of art in computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools and unified modeling language ( UML), focusing on their evolution, merits, and industry usage. With increasing need for automated tools to assist complex systems development, software design methods are becoming popular. We evaluate our approach by applying it to the development of mobile, context-aware applications-an application area characterised by many non-functional requirements that manifest themselves as crosscutting concerns. It defines a concern composition mechanism, implemented as a model transformation, to support the enhanced modularisation features of Theme/ UML. We have developed a transformation tool that adopts model-driven architecture (MDA) standards. Here, we describe our work on facilitating the use of Theme/ UML as part of an MDE process. ![]() To date, its lack of integration with model-driven engineering (MDE) techniques has limited its benefits across the development lifecycle. Theme/ UML is an existing approach to aspect-oriented modelling that supports the modularisation and composition of concerns, including crosscutting ones, in design. Some heuristics to transform UML models into DERCS, which have been implemented in GenERTiCA, are also discussed.Ĭarton, Andrew Driver, Cormac Jackson, Andrew Clarke, Siobhán Additionally, this paper discusses the Distributed Embedded Real-Time Compact Specification (DERCS), a PIM created to support UML-based code generation tools. GenERTiCA generates source code from UML models, and also performs weaving of aspects, which have been specified within the UML model. This paper discusses an infrastructure created to build GenERTiCA, a flexible tool that supports a MDE approach, which uses aspect-oriented concepts to handle non-functional requirements from embedded and real-time systems domain. ![]() The use of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) techniques in the domain of distributed embedded real-time systems are gain importance in order to cope with the increasing design complexity of such systems. Present paper contains the results of CASE tool (mainly UML editors) comparison against the level of the automation they are offering.Īn Infrastructure for UML-Based Code Generation Tools Actual today's CASE tools are usually offering a combination of several features starting with a model editor and a model repository for a traditional ones and ending with code generator (that could be using a scripting or domain-specific (DSL) language), transformation tool to produce the new artifacts from the manually created and transformation definition editor to define new transformations for the most advanced ones. ![]() It is being said that software development automation using CASE tools enables significant level of automation. Nowadays the Object Management Group (OMG) is calling similar arguments in regards to the Unified Modeling Language ( UML) models at different levels of abstraction. CASE tools developed due today's date are being advertised as having "complete code-generation capabilities". In the last 30 years there were numerous model generated software systems offered targeting problems with the development productivity and the resulting software quality.
