A deep learning-based approach to similarity calculation for UML use case models

Unified Modeling Language (UML) models are main artifacts of software applications and valuable assets of software projects. The similarity calculation of UML models is an effective way to model reuse, model validation, model retrieval and pattern detection, which can help developers reduce development cost. Existing studies mainly focus on UML design models such as class diagrams and object diagrams. Yet, there is little research on calculating similarity for use case models despite their importance for software requirements reuse and validation. Thus, this paper proposes a similarity calculation approach for UML use case models. This approach first transforms the use case models into use case graphs and then adopts the deep learning technique — Similarity Graph Neural Network (SimGNN) to calculate the structural similarity between use case graphs. Then it calculates the semantic similarity of use case models with Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) and Cosine similarity. Finally it syntheses the results of semantic similarity and structural similarity of use case graphs. The effectiveness and efficiency of this approach was evaluated by comparing to two other approaches: (1) Cosine similarity+TF-IDF and (2) Cosine similarity+edit distance. The results showed that the our approach has better performance in terms of both effectiveness and efficiency.

Designing Dynamic Informed Consent For Public Health Research

Abstract Background Current dynamic consent software available is not all tailored for public health research and lacks the appropriate data governance framework and mechanisms to be compliant with public health research requirements. This paper presents the UML modelling of the Dynamic Consent for Public Health (DC4PH), a dynamic consent platform being designed for the Canadian public health domain Methods The proposed platform incorporates data governance and public health stakeholders’ requirements into its design and is based on state-of-the-art standards and solutions. Diagrams created in UML reflect the mapped requirements and demonstrate the capabilities of our dynamic consent proposed data structure. We also incorporated private ledger entities in our modelling to provide an immutable log of dynamic consent for stakeholders and improve transparency and trust between them. Results A series of UML assets were created based on previous mapping of the public health research domain, public health principles, and data governance requirements. Use case diagrams for each type of user of the platform, state diagrams of key business objects vital for the platform's enhancement of traditional consent, and state diagrams of the actor's possible states. Flowchart of the core platform's functionalities, such as the dynamic consent approval process. And a class diagram of the proposed platform that incorporates all the previously mentioned domain mapping and binds it with optional private ledger properties. Conclusions This work offers a comprehensive and extensible UML design that is being used to develop the DC4PH platform. The paper concludes that the design has the potential to improve the efficiency and efficacy of informed consent collection in public health research projects of small or large scales while also being capable of complying with data governance requirements, healthcare standards, and ledger technologies. Key messages • Dynamic informed consent still lacks appropriate scrutiny over the underlining data structures utilized to store and manage dynamic consent. • Our work proposes a design in Unified Modelling Language (UML), of dynamic informed consent based on public health's domain mapping, data governance and public health research requirements.

Improving information system design: Using UML and axiomatic design

A unified view of the Information System (IS) design is essential for dealing with complexity. However, the literature proposes many denominations, depending on the layer, methodology, framework, or tool. This multitude of approaches does not allow a holistic view of the system. Besides, in Information Systems, the search for good practices in design is still a relevant issue. A subset of essential Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams is chosen to create a broad view of the IS. CRUD matrix is one of the preferred approaches to articulate the sub-systems of applications and data. Axiomatic Design (AD) provides rules for the improvement of the IS design. This work presents a method to create object-oriented elements based on the CRUD matrix aligned with the business strategy. An integrated student-based case study on logistics is provided. In the discussion, a new IS architect role is proposed supported by the CRUD/AD method.

Automatic extraction of product line architecture and feature models from UML class diagram variants

Abstract Context Software Product Lines (SPLs) are families of related products developed for specific domains. SPLs commonly emerge from existing variants when their individual maintenance and/or evolution become complex. Even though there exists a vast research literature on SPL extraction, the majority of the approaches have only focused on source code, are partially automated, or do not reflect domain constraints. Such limitations can make more difficult the extraction, management, documentation and generation of some important SPL artifacts such as the product line architecture, a fact that can impact negatively the evolution and maintenance of SPLs. Objective To tackle these limitations, this work presents ModelVars2SPL (Model Variants to SPL Core Assets), an automated approach to aid the development of SPLs from existing system variants. Method The input for ModelVars2SPL is a set of Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagrams and the list of features they implement. The approach extracts two main assets: (i) Feature Model (FM), which represents the combinations of features, and (ii) a Product Line Architecture (PLA), which represents a global structure of the variants. ModelVars2SPL is composed of four automated steps. We conducted a thorough evaluation of ModelVars2SPL to analyze the artefacts it generates and its performance. Results The results show that the FMs well-represent the features organization, providing useful information to define and manage commonalities and variabilities. The PLAs show a global structure of current variants, facilitating the understanding of existing implementations of all variants. Conclusions An advantage of ModelVars2SPL is to exploit the use of UML design models, that is, it is independent of the programming language, and supports the re-engineering process in the design level, allowing practitioners to have a broader view of the SPL.

Robotic System for Automation of Water Quality Monitoring and Feeding in Aquaculture Shadehouse

This paper describes the implementation of an event-based Internet robotic system to monitor water quality and feed crayfish in a shadehouse, guided by a model-based development methodology. The robotic system consists of a mobile robot to transport a water multiparameter sonde and six containers for distributing food onto the pond surface, a dispatcher unit to dispense a precise amount of food from the containers, and a computer running as a server to define, over the Internet, the feeding and monitoring schedule through a client application. The development methodology starts by making an abstract functionality model to accomplish the tasks. Next, the functionality model is described using the unified modeling language (UML) that specifies the structure and behavior of the system components. Later, the methodology translates the UML dynamic description depicted by statechart diagrams into Petri net (PN) formalism. PN models are merged and analyzed based on their behavioral properties to validate the design as a stable event-based Internet system. Following the UML and PN designs, the robotic system is implemented. Local and remote experiments were performed to show the usefulness of the robot operation via the Internet for intensive cultivation of the freshwater redclaw crayfish ( <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Cherax quadricarinatus</i> ).

Generating UML Sequence Diagrams from Use Case Maps: A Model Transformation Approach

Use case map (UCM) is a modeling language designed to bridge the gap between requirements and high-level design artifacts. UCM graphical models describe functional requirements as scenarios using a structure of components. UCM specifies multiple scenarios abstractly in a single integrated view that facilitates understanding of the system-to-be and the early detection of inconsistent scenarios. However, once requirements have been expressed as scenarios, unified modeling language (UML) sequence diagrams are suitable for developing and presenting the details of interactions and help in the transition to a more formal level of refinement. Typically, system analysts are responsible for this transition, and they usually perform it manually, which makes subsequent design models prone to mistakes. As a result, system analysts may design an application that does not accurately realize the behavior specified in UCMs. There is therefore a need to develop a technique to transform UCM models to UML design artifacts. UML sequence diagrams are one of the most popular UML artifacts for dynamic modeling. In this paper, we present a model transformation approach from UCM notation to a UML sequence diagram to facilitate the transition from requirements to high-level design artifacts. We also present an application of the proposed model transformation to an elevator control system.

Aspect-oriented modeling framework for security hardening

Aspect-oriented modeling (AOM) emerged as a promising paradigm for handling crosscutting concerns, such as security, at the software modeling level. Most existing AOM contributions are presented from a practical perspective and lack formal syntax and semantics. In this paper, we present a practical and formal AOM framework for software security hardening. Our contributions are threefold. First, we define an AOM approach for the specification of security aspects at the unified modeling language (UML) design level. Second, we design and implement the matching and the weaving processes into UML design models. Third, we elaborate formal specifications for aspect matching and weaving in UML activity diagrams. Finally, we demonstrate the viability and the relevance of our propositions using a case study. The proposed framework is supported by a tool built on top of IBM-Rational Software Modeler.

An Ameliorated Methodology to Abstract Object Oriented Features from Programming System

In software testing through reverse engineering, the programming semiotics are to be transformed to Unified Modeling Language (UML) semiotics. This process needs the abstraction of UML syntactics, semantics from the programming system. As a preamble, this paper attempts to develop an automated methodology to abstract object oriented technology (OOT) components required for the class diagram from the programming system to be tested for its correctness & completeness. The methodology comprises of initial classing & slicing the programming system on the referenced attributes of the entry with no defined attributes and then using the sole referenced entry and sole defined entry on these sliced programming units the candidate key/s are identified which are used to find individual object structure of the class in our classing technique. The programming system is sliced based on individual class structure and then these slices are used to obtain the object methods through whose nature of the parameters we identify the interrelationship between the classes and their types. The intermediate clairvoyant study of parameter indicates the visibility of the object methods. This paper contains the detailed procedure for each method of our automated methodology. Therefore, their correctness and completeness is self evident. The proposed procedures are based on sound logical positivism and implicitly incorporate good database design and good software engineering principles. This paper reengineers the programming system into various appropriate UML design diagrams so as to reduce the enormity of the syntactics and semantics of programming language into limited syntactics and semantics. This enables to develop the correct and complete software testing methodology.

NSTX-U Digital Coil Protection System Software Detailed Design

The national spherical torus experiment (NSTX) currently uses a collection of analog signal processing solutions for coil protection. Part of the NSTX upgrade (NSTX-U) entails replacing these analog systems with a software solution running on a conventional computing platform. The new digital coil protection system (DCPS) will replace the old systems entirely, while also providing an extensible framework that allows adding new functionality as desired. The development of the DCPS was a multidiscipline engineering effort. The fact that long-trusted yet presently inadequate protection mechanisms were being replaced with a first-of-a-kind system at NSTX-U has led to a carefully crafted, full-featured software design. Real-time concurrent RedHawk Linux provides the deterministic environment in which the software runs, and the software architecture follows a unified modeling language design with industry standard patterns.
