Case study – Requirements • Support – for the identification of suitable (based on the dependencies) component types within the component type library – for component type selection from a component type library – for explicit constraints on the system – for views at different level of detail on the same system – for heterogeneous systems – for the management of multiple engineering domains – for tagging 13
Knowledge Discovery Metamodel • A common intermediate representation for existing software systems and their operating environments • Designed as the OMG's foundation for software modernization • The conceptual layer contains a package to describe the structure of the system 14
1. Low-level models 2. High-level models: structure view 3. Modernization: back to low level 17
Background • Architecture Description Languages – Provides an high-level view of the system • Components, ports and connectors • Easier to identify architectural problems (e.g., bottlenecks) • Exists approaches able to recovery the architecture from the system
– No mappings between high-level views and the “real” system

COMO • Enrich KDM with metamodel-elements borrowed from ADLs – Enables a Component-Oriented MOdernization • Once the components are identified and their interactions are clear, it is possible to manage better the complexity
– Extends the great work made in KDM • Allows one to group KDM elements into well-defined architectural components with precise offers and requirements
COMO: Constraints • Constraints and additional semantics are defined using OCL – Attached to Components and Services – Enable fine-grade architecture specification • e.g. Model-View-Controller pattern
– Each constraint has a severity attribute: • All strong constraints must always hold after each transformation • Weak constraints can be broken to enable furthermore transformations
26
Preliminary Evaluation • COMO’s metamodel is implemented with EMF – It is possible to easily write tools using it, or declaring transformations using ATL • A preliminary version of COMO has been evaluated within the MOMOCS European project – Other partners built support tool – Design & Analysis Tool • Transformation tool • Knowledge Repository 28
Transformation Tool • The XSM Transformation Tool : – Aids the evolution of a To Be Modernized System’s model into a modernized one – Allows to transform a model in another model • Uses sets of rules describing mappings at metamodel level
– Based on ATL • Extended for being more user-friendly • Created a set of pre-defined transformations – substitution, merge, split
Transformation Tool in Action
Knowledge Repository • The modernization process requires: – Collaboration of several actors • different expertise • focusing of different parts of the complex system
– To follow an iterative methodology • All the intermediate artefacts should be managed properly
– To leverage on previous experiences
Knowledge Repository - Features • Manages different version of models – versioning support – graphical evolution tracking • Stores transformations • advanced keyword search • semantic search
Keyword matching query editor

Conclusions and Future work • The modernization problem should be tackled at the component level – KDM is great – COMO provides • Component and Ports (services) from Software Architectures • OCL for expressing structural constraints • EFSM for specifying the behavior
