“…Additionally, the uses of UML are still the focus of research. For example, Chavez et al [4] strive to ensure coherence amid a class in the UML model and its implementation in Java. Software models that are expressed in UML may need to employ precise semantics.…”

Service fulfillment for clients increasingly involves cooperation between information technology (IT) systems. Designing such solutions requires an architectural approach that ensures symmetry between the communicating parties. For the design of such systems, the author introduces the 1+5 architectural views model. The model contains three new architectural views. For business process modeling, it ensures the integrated processes view. Integration aspects cover two additional views: integrated services, and contracts. Moreover, new stereotypes and tagged values have been added to the unified modeling language (UML). The author has introduced two profiles: UML profile for integration flows, and UML profile for distributed ledger deployment. Communication between systems requires flows that arrange mediation mechanisms. The paper describes an integration flow diagram that extends a UML activity diagram. In the case of blockchain, the author has proposed the smart contract design pattern. The paper describes three case studies that have employed the model to design various solutions. The 1+5 model has proven to be well suited for designing both centralized integration environments with enterprise service bus (ESB) and distributed blockchain solutions with peer-to-peer (P2P) connections.

“…UML class diagrams represent OO classifiers (e.g., class, interface), fields, methods, and classifier relationships. The UML standard 6 defines the following kinds of relationships between classifiers: dependency, inheritance, realization, association, aggregation, and composition. The association can be a directed or a unidirectional relationship.…”

UML recovery has been a long-standing challenge for the software-engineering community. The complete recovery of UML class relationships needs the employment of both static and dynamic code analyses. However, the dynamic-code analysis is not usually applicable at the design time of programs and especially for incomplete programs in online education. To overcome this restriction, we propose a formally defined set of mappings between UML relationships and object-oriented relationships that are based on static-code analysis exclusively. We evaluate the precision and the recall of our mappings on student projects against ground-truth UML diagrams and against diagrams recovered by existing UML class recovery tools.

“…Macedo et al [25] focus on inconsistency handling in MDE, particularly in model repair techniques. Consistency between the UML class model and its Java implementation is the field of study of Chavez et al [26]. The quality and maintainability of model transformations are considered by Fleck et al [27].…”

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) enables data storage in a decentralized manner among collaborating parties. The software architecture of such solutions encompasses models placed in the relevant architectural views. A lot of research is devoted to smart contracts and consensus algorithms, which are realized by distributed applications and can be positioned within the Logical view. However, we see the need to provide modeling support for the Deployment view of distributed ledger solutions. Especially since the chosen DLT framework has a significant impact on implementation and deployment. Besides, consistency between models and configuration deployment scripts should be ensured. So, we have applied Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) that allows on the transformation of models into more detailed models, source code, or tests. We have proposed Unified Modeling Language (UML) stereotypes and tagged values for distributed ledger deployment modeling and placed them in the UML Profile for Distributed Ledger Deployment. We have also designed the UML2Deployment model-to-code transformation for the R3 Corda DLT framework. A UML Deployment model is the source whereas a Gradle Groovy deployment script is the target of the transformation. We have provided the complete solution by incorporating the transformation into the Visual Paradigm modeling tool. Furthermore, we have designed a dedicated plug-in to validate generated deployment scripts. In the paper, we have shown how to design transformation for generating deployment scripts for the R3 Corda DLT framework with the ability to switch to another one.
