Abstract
Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is one of many competing techniques that have the potential to contribute towards the development of better software systems. However the business support at Computation-Independent Model (CIM) level does not necessarily allow the development teams to utilize its power and it might become difficult to bridge the gap between analysis, design and implementation phases. Consequently, the clients usually do not get what they want. Semantic Analysis expressed as ontology charts offers a very sound business analytical method that can be used to overcome these problems. The aim of this paper is, with the help of Meta Object Facility (MOF) meta-model, to advocate the use of Semantic Analysis and to present a method of transforming it to the Component Object Model (COM+) architecture, which is the Microsoft standard for developing application programs.
Highlights
Poor analysis and design are the main causes of faulty systems
The main aim of this paper is to present a method of transforming Ontology Charts resulting from the Semantic Analysis to the Component Object Model (COM+) architecture while maintaining the benefits of semantic analysis such as temporal data and immunity of systems to malignant changes from requirements to design
We present the following rules for mapping Ontology Chart to COM+: 1) For each surrogate that is of type agent, a COM+ component is generated
Summary
Without proper business analysis and design, results in a poor software product having many problems and huge ongoing maintenance costs Some of these problems become visible during the system implementation whereas some others become visible after the software system goes into production. The main aim of this paper is to present a method of transforming Ontology Charts resulting from the Semantic Analysis to the Component Object Model (COM+) architecture while maintaining the benefits of semantic analysis such as temporal data and immunity of systems to malignant changes from requirements to design. The business analysis can be carried out with the Semantic Analysis resulting in the Ontology Charts which can be transformed into COM+ design architecture to implement the systems. Before going into the details of our transformation methodology, let us explore various concepts and ideas which are crucial for developing our transformation method
