基于图形语法的UML模型转换方法

模型驱动的软件开发生命周期的核心是模型转换过程.例如从初始的分析模型出发,并行的进行分析模型的迭代,以及分析模型到设计子模型的转换过程,并支持最终两种模型的合并.为了允许迭代的和并行的对各个精化模型进行修改,利用图形语法辅助模型的精化和合成,可以有效的实现转换过程的精确性和一致性.该项研究可以作为模型自动生成技术以及模型驱动体系结构(MDA)的基础性工作.

An Approach Based on Graph Grammars for Implementing Model Transformation

The kernel of model driven software development life cycle is the process of model transformation. For instance, a process may include the following steps: starting from an initial analysis model, then parallel refining the analysis model with transforming the model to design sub-models, finally merging produced models. In order to support iterated and parallel modification of refining models,the graph grammars are proposed to assist model refinement and synthesis. The approach is able to achieve correctness and consistency on model transformation. The research also can make groundwork for automatic model generation and model driven architecture (MDA).
