Written by foremost experts in the field, Engineering Modeling Languages provides end-to-end coverage of the engineering of modeling languages to turn domain knowledge into tools.The book provides a definition of different kinds of modeling languages, their instrumentation with tools such as editors, interpreters and generators, the integration of multiple modeling languages to achieve a system view, and the validation of both models and tools. Industrial case studies, across a range of application domains, are included to attest to the benefits offered by the different techniques. The book also includes a variety of simple worked examples that introduce the techniques to the novice user.The book is structured in two main parts. The first part is organized around a flow that introduces readers to Model Driven Engineering (MDE) concepts and technologies in a pragmatic manner. It starts with definitions of modeling and MDE, and then moves into a deeper discussion of how to express the knowledge of particular domains using modeling languages to ease the development of systems in the domains.The second part of the book presents examples of applications of the model-driven approach to different types of software systems. In addition to illustrating the unification power of models in different software domains, this part demonstrates applicability from different starting points (language, business knowledge, standard, etc.) and focuses on different software engineering activities such as Requirement Engineering, Analysis, Design, Implementation, and V&V.Each chapter concludes with a small set of exercises to help the reader reflect on what was learned or to dig further into the examples. Many examples of models and code snippets are presented throughout the book, and a supplemental website features all of the models and programs (and their associated tooling) discussed in the book.

This text deals with the reading, writing and understanding of specifications. The papers presented in this book describe useful concepts and practices (in programming and in specifications) and solid underlying theory that is of interest and importance to those who deal with increased complexity of business and systems. Most concepts have been successfully used in actual industrial projects, while others are from the forefront of research. Authors include practitioners, business thinkers, academics and applied mathematicians. These papers address different aspects of a single problem - taming complexity. The text emphasizes simplicity in specifications without concentrating on particular methodologies, languages or tools. It shows how to handle complexity and how to succeed in understanding and specifying businesses and systems based upon abstract concepts. The text is the second volume of papers based on a series of workshops held alongside ACM's annual conference on Object-Oriented Programming Systems Languages and Applications (OOPSLA) and European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP).The first volume, Object-Oriented Behavioral Specifications, edited by Haim Kilov and William Harvey, was published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in 1996.

Behavioral Specifications of Businesses and Systems deals with the reading, writing and understanding of specifications. The papers presented in this book describe useful and sometimes elegant concepts, good practices (in programming and in specifications), and solid underlying theory that is of interest and importance to those who deal with increased complexity of business and systems. Most concepts have been successfully used in actual industrial projects, while others are from the forefront of research. Authors include practitioners, business thinkers, academics and applied mathematicians. These seemingly different papers address different aspects of a single problem - taming complexity. Behavioral Specifications of Businesses and Systems emphasizes simplicity and elegance in specifications without concentrating on particular methodologies, languages or tools. It shows how to handle complexity, and, specifically, how to succeed in understanding and specifying businesses and systems based upon precise and abstract concepts. It promotes reuse of such concepts, and of constructs based on them, without taking reuse for granted. Behavioral Specifications of Businesses and Systems is the second volume of papers based on a series of workshops held alongside ACM's annual conference on Object-Oriented Programming Systems Languages and Applications (OOPSLA) and European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP). The first volume, Object-Oriented Behavioral Specifications, edited by Haim Kilov and William Harvey, was published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in 1996.

This Open Access book presents the results of the "Collaborative Embedded Systems" (CrESt) project, aimed at adapting and complementing the methodology underlying modeling techniques developed to cope with the challenges of the dynamic structures of collaborative embedded systems (CESs) based on the SPES development methodology.In order to manage the high complexity of the individual systems and the dynamically formed interaction structures at runtime, advanced and powerful development methods are required that extend the current state of the art in the development of embedded systems and cyber-physical systems. The methodological contributions of the project support the effective and efficient development of CESs in dynamic and uncertain contexts, with special emphasis on the reliability and variability of individual systems and the creation of networks of such systems at runtime.The project was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), and the case studies are therefore selected from areas that are highly relevant for Germany’s economy (automotive, industrial production, power generation, and robotics). It also supports the digitalization of complex and transformable industrial plants in the context of the German government's "Industry 4.0" initiative, and the project results provide a solid foundation for implementing the German government's high-tech strategy "Innovations for Germany" in the coming years.

This book documents the scientific results of the projects related to the Trusted Cloud Program, covering fundamental aspects of trust, security, and quality of service for cloud-based services and applications. These results aim to allow trustworthy IT applications in the cloud by providing a reliable and secure technical and legal framework. In this domain, business models, legislative circumstances, technical possibilities, and realizable security are closely interwoven and thus are addressed jointly.The book is organized in four parts on “Security and Privacy”, “Software Engineering and Software Quality”, “Platforms, Middleware and Integration”, and “Social Aspects, Business Models and Standards”. It thus provides a holistic view on technological, societal, and legal aspects, which are indispensable not only to ensure the security of cloud services and the data they process, but also to gain the trust of society, business, industry, and science in these services.The ultimate goal of the book, as well as of the Trusted Cloud Program in general, is to distribute these results to a broader audience in both academia and industry, and thus to help with the proliferation of "Industry 4.0" services.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods, SEFM 2015, held in York, UK, in September 2015. The 17 full papers presented together with 2 invited and 6 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 96 submissions.

The development of modern complex software-intensive systems often involves the use of multiple DSMLs that capture different system aspects. Supporting coordinated use of DSMLs leads to what we call the globalization of modeling languages, that is, the use of multiple modeling languages to support coordinated development of diverse aspects of a system.In this book, a number of articles describe the vision and the way globalized DSMLs currently assist integrated DSML support teams working on systems that span many domains and concerns to determine how their work on a particular aspect influences work on other aspects.Globalized DSMLs offer support for communicating relevant information, and for coordinating development activities and associated technologies within and across teams, in addition to providing support for imposing control over development artifacts produced by multiple teams.DSMLs can be used to support socio-technical coordination by providing the means for stakeholders to bridge the gap between how they perceive a problem and its solution, and the programming technologies used to implement a solution. They also support coordination of work across multiple teams. DSMLs developed in an independent manner to meet the specific needs of domain experts have an associated framework that regulates interactions needed to support collaboration and work coordination across different system domains.The articles in the book describe how multiple heterogeneous modeling languages (or DSMLs) can be related to determine how different aspects of a system influence each other. The book includes a research roadmap that broadens the current DSML research focus beyond the development of independent DSMLs to one that provides support for globalized DSMLs.

This book presents a variant of UML that is especially suitable for agile development of high-quality software. It adjusts the language UML profile, called UML/P, for optimal assistance for the design, implementation, and agile evolution to facilitate its use especially in agile, yet model based development methods for data intensive or control driven systems.After a general introduction to UML and the choices made in the development of UML/P in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 includes a definition of the language elements of class diagrams and their forms of use as views and representations. Next, Chapter 3 introduces the design and semantic facets of the Object Constraint Language (OCL), which is conceptually improved and syntactically adjusted to Java for better comfort. Subsequently, Chapter 4 introduces object diagrams as an independent, exemplary notation in UML/P, and Chapter 5 offers a detailed introduction to UML/P Statecharts. Lastly, Chapter 6 presents a simplified form ofsequence diagrams for exemplary descriptions of object interactions. For completeness, appendixes A–C describe the full syntax of UML/P, and appendix D explains a sample application from the E-commerce domain, which is used in all chapters.This book is ideal for introductory courses for students and practitioners alike.

Neben Aufgaben, die alle wichtigen Themengebiete der Einführung abdecken, werden vertiefende und weiterführende Aufgaben angeboten. Darüber hinaus umfaßt das Buch Programmieraufgaben in den funktionalen bzw. objektorientierten Sprachen Gofer und Java sowie der Assemblersprache MI, ergänzt durch kurze Einführungen in diese modernen Programmiersprachen.

\While in geometry attempts to square the circle never succeeded, the UML has achieved it: states canbeimplementedasclasses. "{\Wehavemade much progressfrom thetime cloudswere used. " The Uni ed Modeling Language is described as a language for \specifying, - sualizing, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of software systems" and for business modeling (OMG UML V1. x documents). The UML re?ects some of the best experiences in object-oriented modeling, thus it has the potential to become a widely-used standard object-oriented modeling language. As a generally-applicable standard the UML has to be both ?exible (ext- sible, adaptable, modia ble) and precise. Flexibility is needed if the UML is to be used in a variety of application domains. Tailoring of UML syntax and adaptation of UML semantics to system domains is highly desirable. Incor- rating domain-specic concepts into the language will yield modeling languages that more e ectively support system development in these domains. Tailoring may involve determining a subset of the UML that is applicable to the domain, extending or modifying existing language elements, or den ing new language elements.One can envisage UML variants that are tailored to specic domains, for example, UML for real-time systems, multimedia systems, and for intern- based systems. Furthermore, one can also de ne UML variants that determine levels of sophistication in the use of the UML.

This volume contains the invited and contributed papers selected for presen- tion at SOFSEM 2010, the 36th Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practiceof Computer Science, held January23-29,2010 in the Hotel Bed? richov, ? Spindler? uv Mlyn, ' of the Krkono? se Mountains of the Czech Republic. SOFSEM(originally:SOFtwareSEMinar)isdevotedtoleadingresearch,and fosters the cooperation among researchers and professionals from academia and industry in all areas of computer science. As a well-established and fully int- national conference, SOFSEM maintains the best of its original Winter School aspects,suchasa highnumber of invitedtalksandanin-depth coverageofnovel research results in selected areas within computer science. SOFSEM 2010 was organized around the following four tracks: - Foundations of Computer Science (Chairs: David Peleg, Anca Muscholl) - Principles of Software Construction (Chair: Bernhard Rumpe) - Data, Knowledge, and Intelligent Systems (Chair: Jaroslav Pokorn' y) - Web Science (Chair: Jan van Leeuwen) With these tracks, SOFSEM 2010 covered the latest advances in research, both theoretical and applied, in leading areas of computer science.The SOFSEM 2010 Program Committee consisted of 78 international experts from 20 di?erent countries, representing the track areas with outstanding expertise. An integral part of SOFSEM 2010 was the traditional Student Research - rum (SRF, Chair: Ma 'ria Bielikov' a), organized with the aim to present student projects in the theory and practice of computer science and to give students feedback on both the originality of their scienti?c results and on their work in progress.

Thetopicof“Model-BasedEngineeringofReal-TimeEmbeddedSystems”brings together a challenging problem domain (real-time embedded systems) and a - lution domain (model-based engineering). It is also at the forefrontof integrated software and systems engineering, as software in this problem domain is an essential tool for system implementation and integration. Today, real-time - bedded software plays a crucial role in most advanced technical systems such as airplanes, mobile phones, and cars, and has become the main driver and - cilitator for innovation. Development, evolution, veri?cation, con?guration, and maintenance of embedded and distributed software nowadays are often serious challenges as drastic increases in complexity can be observed in practice. Model-based engineering in general, and model-based software development in particular, advocates the notion of using models throughout the development and life-cycle of an engineered system. Model-based software engineering re- forces this notion by promoting models not only as the tool of abstraction, but also as the tool for veri?cation, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The application of such model-based engineering techniques to embedded real-time systems appears to be a good candidate to tackle some of the problems arising in the problem domain.

Im wachsenden Portfolio von Entwicklungstechniken zeichnen sich zwei wichtige Trends ab. Zum einen dominiert die UML als Modellierungssprache. Zum anderen werden agile Methoden in mittlerweile sehr vielen Softwareentwicklungen eingesetzt. Dieses Buch stellt Konzepte einer Entwicklungsmethodik vor, die UML mit Elementen agiler Methoden kombiniert. Dabei werden ausgehend von den Klassen-, Objekt-, Sequenzdiagrammen, Statecharts und der OCL die Umsetzung nach Java und dem Testframework JUnit diskutiert, sowie Techniken zur Entwicklung von Testfällen und der evolutionären Weiterentwicklung von Entwürfen mit Refactoring-Regeln vorgestellt. Der im Buch beschriebene Ansatz eignet sich besonders für den Einsatz in Anwendungsdomänen, in denen hohe Qualität, Flexibilität und Erweiterbarkeit der Systeme erwartet wird, und sich Anforderungen dynamisch und noch während der Erstellung des Produkts weiterentwickeln. Diese Methodik ist geeignet für Praktiker, die Modellierungstechniken professionell nutzen wollen.Unter http://www.se-rwth.de/mbse ist weiterführendes Material zu finden. Die zweite Auflage ist durchgehend überarbeitet und basiert auf UML 2.3 und der Java-Version 6.
