E-contract evolves over a period of time due to changes in e-contract environment. E-contract evolution adversely affects the execution of e-contracts. An e-contract is specified by a model at conceptual level, supported by a database management system (DBMS) at logical level and by both DBMS and workflow management system (WFMS) at implementation level. Any changes in the design as well as runtime environment during e-contract enactment must be reflected at all levels.Conventional modeling approaches simply model the e-contracts as specified workflows and execute them. Since, e-contracts are complex in nature, such models have to undergo large number of transformations during e-contract enactment. Metamodeling approach guides the correctness of transformed models by generating appropriate model instances according to e-contract constraints to support evolution. A metamodel has structural artifacts to capture the relationships among contract elements and model the required specifications and semantics present in an e-contract as a template. In this paper, we develop 1) an active metamodeling approach by a) introducing the taxonomy of evolution operations and b) handling metaevents to facilitate the structural and behavioral conformance during e-contracts evolution, and 2) an ER ÃEC architecture for enacting evolving e-contracts. Our methodology actively capture behavior features from e-contract executions to drive e-contract evolution.

“…As it is said in the introduction, the scaffolding of our approach is constituted by an architecture we presented in [4,5] applied within a database evolution setting. Although the architecture has been proven within this setting, it was designed with the aim of being independent of any particular modeling technique.…”

“…This work relies on our own scaffolding architecture, presented in [4,5], that contributes to the achievement of a satisfactory solution to analogous problems in the database evolution setting. One of the main characteristics of this architecture is an explicit translation component that allows properties of traceability and consistency to be fulfilled when evolution tasks are carried out.…”

Abstract. The widespread use of XML brings new challenges for its integration into general software development processes. In particular, it is necessary to keep the consistency between different software artifacts and XML documents when evolution tasks are carried out. In this paper we present an approach to evolve XML schemas and documents conceptually modeled by means of UML class diagrams. Evolution primitives are issued on the UML class diagram and are automatically propagated down to the XML schema. The XML documents are also automatically modified to conform to the new XML schema. In this way, the consistency between the different artifacts involved is kept. This goal is achieved by using an intermediate component which reflects how the UML diagrams are translated into the XML schemas.

“…This problem faces how to reflect in the logical and extensional schemas the changes that have occurred in the conceptual schema of a database. As a contribution towards achieving a satisfactory solution to this problem (that has not been found yet, despite a lot of efforts by different researchers [7,5]), authors of the [9] have presented an architecture for managing database evolution. Another problem in Database System is productivity, w.r.t.…”

The Indian Banks collects huge amount of data which the banks are unable to turn into fast transaction and also unable to maintain and utilize it in a proper manner. Other problems are also occurring w.r.t. the reusability of the system in a different environment designed by the developer. Nowadays we are focusing upon interoperability of database and system hardware. In this paper we have proposed a new design of banking Database system of a bank using the modern MDA approach of software engineering to improve the maintainability, portability and flexibility. We have shown that MDA approach also provides interoperability, easy maintenance of highly computational business oriented system by taking the study of banking database. In this paper we have shown how database modeling is done with MDA for modelling at different levels like CIM, PIM, and PSM, which gives a new dimension to the database based application development.
