객체-관계 변환 방법론을 위한 이진 결정 다이어그램 기반의 모델링 규칙

Abstract

In order to design a system, software developers use an object model such as the UML class diagram. Object-Relational Transformation Methodology (ORTM) is a methodology to transform the relationships that are expressed in the object model into relational database tables, and it is applied for the implementation of the designed system. Previous ORTM studies have suggested a number of transformation methods to represent one relationship. However, there is an implementation problem that is difficult to apply because the usage criteria for each transformation method do not exist. Therefore, this paper proposes a binary decision diagram-based modeling rule for each relationship. Hence, we define the conditions for distinguishing the transformation methods. By measuring the query execution time, we also evaluate the modeling rules that are required for the verification. After evaluation, we re-define the final modeling rules which are represented by propositional logic, and show that our proposed modeling rules are useful for the implementation of the designed system through a case study.
