A semantic web enabled approach to reuse functional requirements models in web engineering

Frame Logic‐based specification and discovery of semantic web services with application to medical appointments

“…The proposed system is ''approximative'' and does not guarantee with 100% certainty the suitability of the discovered services to satisfy the needs of the requester. This is in line with the authors' belief that semantic web research has started to shift towards ''more scalable and approximative rather than computationally expensive logic-based reasoning with impractical assumptions'' Paydar and Kahani (2014). Our work disproves this belief: It is possible to have logic-based reasoning that is not prohibitively expensive, provided that an appropriate subset of logic, which is expressive enough to practically specify goal requirements and web service capabilities is used.…”

Recommender systems in model-driven engineering

“…The authors of anATLyzer [119] evaluated the usefulness of its quick fixes and the utility of its ranking with respect to the free choices made by two independent developers. Paydar et al [100,101] used the opinion of experts as the golden standard to evaluate the accuracy of their algorithms to detect behaviour/concepts in use cases, annotate activity diagrams with entities from class diagrams and recommend use cases based on similarity metrics.…”

“…Recommenders in MDE have been applied to the reuse of models and transformations. Regarding model reuse, SimVMA [132] recommends Simulink models similar to the one that is being developed, and which the designer can import or clone for their reuse; REBUILDER [42] finds UML diagrams similar to a given query, and supports their full or partial composition into the given design; Paydar et al [100,101] propose a reuse technique whereby the designer provides an input UML use case diagram, the most similar use cases are retrieved from a model repository, and then the activity diagrams associated to these use cases are semiautomatically adapted to (i.e. reused in) the new usage context; Koschmider et al [50,51,71] propose both a recommender of process model fragments, and an explicit search facility to retrieve complete process models or fragments and insert them in the current modelling context, adapting them if needed; and Hermes [34][35][36] can incorporate model search strategies to find model elements suitable for reuse.…”

“…The RS uses a content-based filtering algorithm to find the closest sequence diagrams. The RS proposed by Paydar et al [100,101] facilitates the reuse of models with functional requirements of web applications. For this purpose, the system recommends similar use cases to the one provided by the user and then adapts the activity diagrams linked to the selected use case to the provided one.…”

“…The rationale of MDE is to improve software quality and to reduce accidental complexity and development times [62]. Following the trend in software engineering, in recent years, there have been proposals of RSs to assist in modelling tasks [5,26,100] and other activities in the MDE process [111,119].…”
