Transparent Reverse Engineering Tool Integration Using a Conceptual Transaction Adapter
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a proposal for a novel approach to facilitating transparent interoperability among reverse engineering tools. We characterize the architectural and operational characteristics of reverse engineering tools and demonstrate that many similarities exist among them. Taking full advantage of these similarities, we outline an approach for creating a domain ontology of operational and representational concepts for a given set of tools. A special adapter is proposed that makes use of this ontology to facilitate transparent interoperability among them.

Reverse-engineering of XML Schemas: A Survey
As approaches to conceptual modeling of XML data become more popular, a need arises to reverse-engineer existing schemas to the conceptual models. They make the management of XML schemas easier as well as provide means for accomplishing integration of various XML data sources. Some methods for reverse-engineering of XML schemas have been proposed and in this paper, they are compared using vario...

متن کاملA Tool Integration Workbench for Enterprise Architecture - Integrating Heterogeneous Models and Tools
Enterprise architecture incorporates the specification of relations between different domains, each speaking its own languages and using its own tools. As a consequence, the enterprise architecture asks for the integration of existing modelling tools. This integration has both technical and conceptual aspects. On a technical level, models in different formats managed by dedicated tools need to ...
متن کاملDatabase Reverse Engineering Methods: What is Missing?
Database reverse engineering (DBRE) is a process of extracting requirements from a running system. The process is carried to understand the system having least design and architecture documentation. DBRE is very beneficial when we are expanding our systems or shifting to a newer technology. Since its start, reverse engineering has given hard time to software engineers but researchers are doing ...
