“…A more detailed discussion of the situations where state machines are preferable to other behavioral diagrams can be found in [40]. Recent studies have achieved significantly better results in various contexts with the use of state diagrams, see for example [41], [42]. A wide number of approaches such as [21,[43][44][45] provide implementation of state diagrams in object-oriented way, i.e., in a WTG setting.…”

Model-driven engineering (MDE) and aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) contribute to the common goal of development of high-quality code in reduced time. To complement each approach with the benefits of the other, various methods of integration of the two approaches were proposed in the past. Aspect-oriented code generation, which targets obtaining aspect-oriented code directly from aspect models, offers some unique advantages over the other integration approaches. However, the existing aspect-oriented code generation approaches do not comprehensively address all aspects of a model-driven code generation system, such as a textual representation of graphical models, conceptual mapping, and incorporation of behavioral diagrams. These problems limit the worth of generated code, especially in practical use. Here, we propose AJFCode, an approach for aspect-oriented modeldriven code generation, which comprehensively addresses the various aspects including the graphical models and their text-based representation, mapping between visual model elements and code, and the behavioral code generation. Experiments are conducted to compare the maintainability and reusability characteristics of the aspect-oriented code generated using the AJFCode with the most comprehensive object-oriented code generation approach. AJFCode performs well in terms of all metrics related to maintainability and reusability of code. However, the most significant improvement is noticed in the separation of concerns, coupling, and cohesion. For instance, AJFCode yields significant improvement in concern diffusion over operations (19 vs 51), coupling between components (0 vs 6), and lack of cohesion in operations (5 vs 9) for one of the experimented concerns.

“…To realize the integrated management of product lifecycle data, Liu et al [42] proposed a unified product data management model based on metamodel technology. To ensure the UML 2.0 model consistency, Ma et al [43] constructed an integrated semantic framework based on the metamodel method. With the increasing amount of information, the process of transforming tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge in the healthcare domain is facing different challenges.…”

Integrated logistics support (ILS) is of great significance for maintaining equipment operational capability in the whole lifecycle. Numerous segments and complex product objects exist in the process of equipment ILS, which gives ILS data multi-source, heterogeneous, and multidimensional characteristics. The present ILS data cannot satisfy the demand for efficient utilization. Therefore, the unified modeling of ILS data is extremely urgent and significant. In this paper, a unified data modeling method is proposed to solve the consistent and comprehensive expression problem of ILS data. Firstly, a four-tier unified data modeling framework is constructed based on the analysis of ILS data characteristics. Secondly, the Core unified data model, Domain unified data model, and Instantiated unified data model are built successively. Then, the expressions of ILS data in the three dimensions of time, product, and activity are analyzed. Thirdly, the Lifecycle ILS unified data model is constructed, and the multidimensional information retrieval methods are discussed. Based on these, different systems in the equipment ILS process can share a set of data models and provide ILS designers with relevant data through different views. Finally, the practical ILS data models are constructed based on the developed unified data modeling software prototype, which verifies the feasibility of the proposed method.
