Over the last decade, a large number of Method Engineering (ME) approaches have been developed to adapt information system methods (ISM) to specific situations of projects at hand. However, ME has not been yet, widely spread in the professional world. Our belief is that limitations such as the lack of standards, the proposal of proprietary solutions and an excessive emphasis on engineering issues...
Like RM-ODP [1], enterprise architecture (or EA for short) has its own perspectives as a basic construct for its architecture definition to represent areas of concern. In this paper, difference between RM-ODP and one concrete example EA, and applicability of Use of UML for ODP system specifications [2] (or UML4ODP in short) standard to the example EA, are discussed. Several additional diagrams that...
We developed a quality of service (QoS) management system to support service level management (SLM) for global enterprise services. The QoS management system is integrated with one of our enterprise services in a preproduction system, an identical system as the production system but in a test environment. Lab experiments showed that our integrated solution helps global enterprise services to better...
Proponents of design notations tailored for specific application domains or reference architectures, often available in the form of UML stereotypes, motivate them by improved understandability and modifiability. However, empirical studies that tested such claims report contradictory results, where the most intuitive notations are not always the best performing ones. This indicates the possible existence...
The Views and Beyond (V&B) approach to software architecture provides practical guidance on the what, why, and how of creating IEEE 1471-2000 compliant documentation for your software architecture that will be used for years to come. The approach is based on the well-known concept of views and is presented in the context of prevailing prescriptive models for architecture, including the unified...
Platform independent models (PIMs), platform specific models (PSMs) and the transformation between them are key technologies in OMG's MDA. But there is no effective solution until now. Starting from software architecture modeling, a modeling approach was proposed to build platform independent models for Web applications by extending UML and adding user-interface presentation views. Based on this approach,...
This paper proposes a conception design environment that intends to support service collaboration. In this platform, technology independence is a very important goal to be achieved. Model driven architecture and metamodels are some of the resources to provide such independence. This article offers a modified software development process that would leverage MDA, and studies a Web application case
