Meta-Modeling for Situational Analysis and Design Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
This chapter introduces an assembly-based method engineering approach for constructing situational analysis and design methods. The approach is supported by a meta-modeling technique, based on UML activity and class diagrams. Both the method engineering approach and meta-modeling technique will be explained and illustrated by case studies. The first case study describes the use of the meta-modeling technique in the analysis of method evolution. The next case study describes the use of situational method engineering, supported by the proposed meta-modeling technique, in method construction. With this research, the authors hope to provide researchers in the information system development domain with a useful approach for analyzing, constructing, and adapting methods.

Data mining for decision making in engineering optimal design
Often in modeling the engineering optimization design problems, the value of objective function(s) is not clearly defined in terms of design variables. Instead it is obtained by some numerical analysis such as FE structural analysis, fluid mechanic analysis, and thermodynamic analysis, etc. Yet, the numerical analyses are considerably time consuming to obtain the final value of objective functi...
متن کاملA Situational Approach for Web Applications Design
The paper introduces a situational approach for Web applications design. We, first, define development situations and identify their specific characteristics through situational factors in projects. Using these situational factors, the most appropriate design process-model is selected. A meta-modeling technique is proposed that integrates the Map formalism for modeling existing design process-m...
