“…For future works, we plan to apply the quality model into different MDD approaches by using an integration process that automatically generates metamodeling extensions [55][56][57]. By using the integration proposal, we plan to show how the proposed quality model allows the automatic verification of the list of defect types found in MDD proposals.…”

In Model-Driven Development (MDD) processes, models are key artifacts that are used as input for code generation. Therefore, it is very important to evaluate the quality of these input models in order to obtain high-quality software products. The detection of defects is a promising technique to evaluate software quality, which is emerging as a suitable alternative for MDD processes. The detection of defects in conceptual models is usually manually performed. However, since current MDD standards and technologies allow both the specification of metamodels to represent conceptual models and the implementation of model transformations to automate the generation of final software products, it is possible to automate defect detection from the defined conceptual models. This paper presents a quality model that not only encapsulates defect types that are related to conceptual models but also takes advantage of current standards in order to automate defect detection in MDD environments.

“…However, this approach requires the manual definition of an initial UML profile skeleton, which is typically a tedious and error-prone task [23]. The methodology introduced in [7,8] facilitates the derivation of a UML profile using a DSML as input. The methodology requires the manual definition of an intermediate metamodel that captures the abstract syntax.…”

“…The methodology requires the manual definition of an intermediate metamodel that captures the abstract syntax. Despite the potential of these approaches, they usually involve non-trivial human-driven tasks, e.g., a UML profile skeleton [15] or an intermediate metamodel [7,8]. In contrast, our approach builds on top of standard Ecore metamodels (which are usually available in MBSE).…”

Abstract. We present an approach for defining the abstract and concrete syntax of UML profiles and their equivalent Papyrus graphical editors using annotated Ecore metamodels, driven by automated modelto-model and model-to-text transformations. We compare our approach against manual UML profile specification and implementation using Archimate, a non-trivial enterprise modelling language, and we demonstrate the substantial productivity and maintainability benefits it delivers.

“…It would also be possible to implement specific DSML-based tools for those features that are outside of the scope of existent UML tools. The proposal presented in [21] defines a solution to solve these structural differences in order to obtain an adequate input for an automated UML profile generation. In addition, considering that the UML profile is generated from the DSML meta-model, during the generation of the UML profile also can be obtained the information of the equivalences (mapping) between the extended UML meta-model (extended with the generated UML profile) and the DSML meta-model.…”

“…In other words, once the Profile is defined there is no need to implement new CASE tools. Enterprise Architect [9] and Rational Software Modeler [21] are examples of CASE tools with support for UML Profiles. Hence, the development of a UML Profile has proven an excellent method to standardize modeling of specific domains, as it uses the language's popularity and tools compatible with UML 2.0, favoring standard acceptance and reducing time for training in new languages.…”

Imaging has occupied a huge role in the management of patients, whether hospitalized or not. Depending on the patient's clinical problem, a variety of imaging modalities were available for use. This gave birth of the annotation of medical image process. The annotation is intended to image analysis and solve the problem of semantic gap. The reason for image annotation is due to increase in acquisition of images. Physicians and radiologists feel better while using annotation techniques for faster remedy in surgery and medicine due to the following reasons: giving details to the patients, searching the present and past records from the larger databases, and giving solutions to them in a faster and more accurate way. However, classical conceptual modeling does not incorporate the specificity of medical domain specially the annotation of medical image. The design phase is the most important activity in the successful building of annotation process. For this reason, we focus in this paper on presenting the conceptual modeling of the annotation of medical image by defining a new profile using the StarUML extensibility mechanism.
