Representing Languages in UML - A UML Profile for Language Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract: In this paper a UML profile for textual concrete syntax specification is described. The profile provides the necessary elements to associate the concrete syntax of a language L to an abstract syntax model of L. Such augmented abstract syntax model is called the language model of L. This language model avoids keeping the abstract and concrete syntaxes synchronized. We take advantage of the similarities between object oriented modeling and BNF-based language specification, and use a profile to specify the dissimilarities.

Aspect Oriented UML to ECORE Model Transformation
With the emerging concept of model transformation, information can be extracted from one or more source models to produce the target models. The conversion of these models can be done automatically with specific transformation languages. This conversion requires mapping between both models with the help of dynamic hash tables. Hash tables store reference links between the elements of the source...
متن کاملTowards a UML Profile for Software Architecture Descriptions
To formally describe architectures of software systems, specific languages called Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) have been developed by academic institutions and research labs. However, more and more research and industrial projects are using the standard Unified Modeling Language (UML) for representing software architectures of systems. In this paper, we focus on how to extend the U...
متن کاملA semi-automatic approach for bridging DSMLs with UML
The definition of modeling languages is a key-prerequisite for model-driven engineering (MDE). In this respect, domain-specific languages (DSL) defined in terms of metamodels and UML profiles are often considered as two alternatives. For interoperability reasons, however, the need arises to bridge modeling languages originally defined as DSLs to UML profiles by defining (1) a specific UML profi...
متن کاملTowards an UML Profile for the Description of Software Architecture
Existing ADLs (architecture description languages) have an advantage of formally specifying the architecture of component-based systems. But ADLs have not come into extensive use in industries since ADL users should learn a distinct notation specific to architecture, and ADLs do not address all stakes of development process that is becoming diversified everyday. On the other hand, UML is a de f...
متن کاملExtending Uml Using Profiles for Knowledge-based Systems Modelling
Knowledge engineers have favoured a diagrammatic approach for developing knowledge-based systems by adopting those used in software engineering. However, these modelling techniques tend to be used in an ad hoc way and are highly dependent on the modelling experience of the engineers involved. This paper focuses on the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) Profiles for knowledge modelling. ...
