Proposition of the Probe-Event Approach for View-Based Modeling

Abstract

Viewpoint modeling is the general theme of our work in the field of Model Driven Engineering. It is an object-oriented modeling strategy that focuses on the actors interacting with the system in order to analyze and create complex systems. Building complex computer systems remains a particularly challenging process for the modeling, design, and analysis team despite the progress of design approaches in the field of software engineering due to the complexity and richness of information. Complex software system modeling is an extremely sophisticated and enormous area of study. The best method for reducing complexity and dimension while simultaneously making it easier for people to design complicated systems is to break them down into smaller parts or components. Thus, the concept of multi-modeling methods, So the composition of the models of the findings then poses a challenge. To achieve this goal, we introduced the notion of event probe, which allows specifying implicit communications between views by observing events. This makes it possible to decouple specifications that are a priori strongly interconnected, to design them separately by viewpoint, according to the recommendations of the view modeling approach, and then to integrate them without having to modify them. We first defined the concept of event probes, identified the different types of probes with their associated parameters, and then defined a set of concepts allowing enriching and manipulating the probes.
