Siemens Rail - Industrial Case Study: Model-based Development of a Train Guard MT Function

Siemens AG Rail Automation, fortiss GmbH, and the chair for Software and System Engineering at Technische Universität München set up a transfer project to apply the SPES modeling framework (SPES MF) to the Platform Screen Doors (PSD) function of the Siemens Train Guard MT system creating formal models for requirements and system functionality. Three documents provided by Siemens Rail were used ...

Towards a Market-Centric OGSA-Compliant Architecture Model

The Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) provides a high-level framework for service-oriented grid architecture, mostly based on web service standards. The vision of a worldwide computing grid evokes the scenario of electronic markets for grid services. The object of our investigation is a serviceoriented grid architecture model that is compliant with the OGSA specification. We address the pr...

System for a Passenger-Friendly Airport: An Alternative Approach to High-Level Requirements Specification

Recent advances in large systems (e.g., service-oriented architecture) utilize the notion of choreography, in which there is no central control of the system. Such a task requires first developing a conceptual model to serve as a foundation for specification of choreographybased activities. The European project CHOReOS has built a UML profile for Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) chore...

Transforming Goal Oriented Requirement Specifications into Architecture Prescriptions

In this paper we propose a new method to transform the requirements specification for a software system into an architectural specification for the system. In the introduction we illustrate the needs for this new method in the context of the software development process and we explain the concept of architecture prescription. Then, we give a brief overview of KAOS, the goal oriented requirement...
