“…In the context of model driven engineering, the research in (Graaf, 2007) specifically focuses on architectural abstractions by exploiting model transformations to enable architecture model evolution. Our research is fundamentally different and supports a reuse-centered approach to achieve evolution in (platform independent) architectural model.…”

“…We use the Graph Modeling Language (.GML) as an XML-based representation of architectural instances. A benefit of graph-based modeling is support for architectural evolution by means of graph transformations (Corradini et al, 1996), (Graaf, 2007). More specifically, during execution change operationalisation is abstracted as declarative graph transformation rules (in our case XML transformations using XSLT).…”

Abstract:Service-based architectures implement business processes as technical software services to develop enterprise software. As a consequence of frequent business and technical change cycles, the architect requires a reusecentered approach to systematically accommodate recurring changes in existing software. Our 'Pat-Evol' project aims at supporting pattern-driven reuse in architecture-centric evolution for service software. We propose architecture change mining as a complementary phase to a systematic architecture change execution. Therefore, we investigate the 'history' of sequential changes -exploiting change logs -to discover patterns of change that occur during evolution. To foster reuse, a pattern catalogue maintains an updated collection with once-off specification for identified pattern instances. This allows us to exploit change pattern as a generic, first class abstractions (that can be operationalised and parameterised) to support reuse in architecture-centric software evolution. The notion of 'build-once, use-often' empowers the role of an architect to model and execute generic and potentially reusable solution to recurring architecture evolution problems.

“…There have been several mentions of using megamodeling techniques in recent works when dealing with complex situations. In [14], an example of a megamodel describing model transformations is given, as well as a megamodel more focused on the model-driven evolution of software architectures. In [15], a megamodel is used in order to define families of reusable components.…”

Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) advocates the use of models at every step of the software development process. Within this context, a team of engineers collectively and collaboratively contribute to a large set of interrelated models. Even if the main focus can be on a single model (e.g. a class diagram model), related elements in other models (e.g. a requirement model) often have to be considered and/or accessed. Moreover, all the involved models do not necessarily conform to the same metamodel and thus may have been built using different independent Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs). Such a situation has already been frequently observed in many large-scale industrial deployments of MDE. Manually coordinating all the involved models, i.e. being able to both manage and use the links existing between them, can become a cumbersome and difficult task. As a proposal to solve this inter-DSL coordination issue, we introduce in this paper a generic and extensible inter-model traceability and navigation environment based on the complementary use of megamodeling and model weaving. We illustrate our solution with a concrete working example.

“…The development environment could be useful for supporting applications, since they enable analysis, and experimentation in an easy and seamless way [2].Models of software requirements, structure and behavior at different levels of abstraction help all stakeholders decide how the system mission should be accomplished and maintained [3].Models consist of three design elements: processing, data and connecting elements [4].…”

Model Driven Architecture and Cloud computing are among the most important paradigms in software service engineering now a days. As cloud computing continues to gain more activities, more issues and challenges for many systems with its dynamic usage are introduced. Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach for development and maintenance becomes an evident choice for ensuring software solutions that are robust, flexible and agile for developing applications. This paper aims to survey and analyze the research issues and challenges that have been emerging in cloud computing applications with a focus on using Model Driven architecture (MDA) development. We discuss the open research issues and highlight future research problems.
