Code repetition, lack of reuse and basic errors are typical problems in the industry that decrease the productivity during the software development process, and this is no exception in the domain of interactive applications with focus on Augmented Reality ...

The confluence of component based development, model driven development and software product lines forms an approach to application development based on the concept of software factories. This approach promises greater gains in productivity and predictability ...

Identity management and access control are essential in the enterprise IT landscape in order to control access to applications and to fulfil laws or regulations. The global competition of enterprises leads to short development cycles and fast changes ...

Adoption of model-driven development is leading to increased use of models jointly with source code for software testing, by means of Model-Based Testing (MBT). MBT uses models to derive concrete test cases to test code. With MBT, test adequacy criteria ...

This paper describes an approach for generating customized benchmark suites from a software architecture description following a Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach. The benchmark generation and performance data capture tool implementation (MDABench) ...

This paper presents the Use Case, Responsibility Driven Analysis and Design methodology, URDAD. URDAD aims to provide a simple algorithmic design methodology which generates a technology neutral business process design in the context of model driven ...

Developing real-time software for large-scale distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems is hard due to variabilities that arise from (1) integration with various subsystems based on different programming languages and hardware, OS, middleware ...

In 2008, Eurocopter and EADS Test & Services (T&S) jointly started a first project named EASI (EADS Avionic System IDE) in order to demonstrate the benefits for the EADS community of a collaborative development approach using an open architecture for ...

Recent advances in Software Engineering have reduced the cost of coding programs at the expense of increasing the complexity of program synthesis, i.e. metaprograms, which when executed, will synthesize a target program. The traditional cycle of configuring-linking-compiling, ...

Automation is the most successful technological means for achieving dramatic improvements in both productivity and quality. The displacement of manual manufacturing methods by automated processes is at the core of the Industrial Revolution and accounts ...

Model-driven development is leading to increased use of models in conjunction with source code in software testing. Model-based testing, however, introduces new challenges for testing activities, which include creation and maintenance of traceability ...

Meeting performance requirements is a challenging software engineering problem in designing and constructing middleware based applications. Considerable efforts have been spent to build performance analysis models from the application architectural models ...

Requirement analysis plays a very important role in reliability, cost, and safety of a software system. The use case approach remains the dominant approach during requirement elicitation in industry. Unfortunately, the use case approach suffers from ...

This paper presents a requirements elicitation approach that is based on model-driven prototyping. Model-driven development fits naturally in evolutionary prototyping because modeling and design are not treated merely as documents but as key parts of ...

Model-driven development finds its origin in a reframed version of Zachman's Information Systems Architecture. This framework recognizes levels of abstraction, which is not the same as levels of detail, in the systems development process. If the model-driven ...

Engineers in industrial and control sector continuously face problems on developing modem distributed industrial control applications. The latest standard in this domain, the IEC61499, defines a methodology to be used by system designers to construct ...

Developing software for mobile devices requires special attention, and it is still a larger effort compared to the development for desktop computers and servers. With the introduction and the popularity of wireless devices, the diversity of the platforms ...

This paper describes a new model-driven development framework, called Modeling Turnpike (or mTurnpike). It allows developers to model and program domain-specific concepts, and to gradually transform them to the final (compilable) source code. By leveraging ...

Developing complex software systems which involve a lot of different non-orthogonal concerns requires considerable effort. This situation can be further exacerbated by tangled and scattered concerns found across the system. In order to reduce this sort ...

This paper describes a didactical Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE)-tool that was developed for use within the context of a course in object-oriented domain modelling. In particular, the tool was designed to address several inconveniences that ...
