“…However, many contributions can be found in literature on classifications of metamodel extension mechanisms and approaches, and on guidelines to use and interpret stereotypes [1,2,3,4,8,15]. This paper is orthogonal to this work and makes a further contribution by extending the use of stereotypes in a general way.…”

Abstract. This paper proposes an extension of the UML 2.0 profiling mechanism. This extension facilitates a language designer to introduce composite concepts as separate conceptual and notational elements in a modelling language. Composite concepts are compositions of existing concepts. To facilitate the introduction of composite concepts, the notion of stereotype is extended. This extension defines how a composite concept can be specified and added to a language's metamodel, without modifying the existing metamodel. From the definition of the stereotype, rules can be derived for transforming a language element that represents a composite concept into a composition of language elements that represent the concepts that constitute the composite. Such a transformation facilitates tool developers to introduce tool support for composite concepts, e.g., by re-using existing tools that support the constituent concepts. To illustrate our ideas, example definitions of stereotypes and transformations for composite concepts are presented.

Since it is the de facto language for software specification and design, UML is the target language used by almost all state of the art contributions handling security at specification and design level. However, these contributions differ in the covered security requirements, specification approaches, verification tools, etc. This paper investigates the main approaches adopted for specifying and enforcing security at UML design and surveys the related state of the art. The main contribution of this paper is a discussion of these approaches from usability viewpoint. A set of criteria has been defined and used in this usability discussion. The discussed UML approaches are stereotypes and tagged values, OCL, and behavior diagrams. Extending the UML meta-language or creating new meta-languages for security specification are also covered by this study.

Model-based a-posteriori integration of engineering tools for incremental development processes

A-posteriori integration of heterogeneous engineering tools supplied by different vendors constitutes a challenging task. In particular, this statement applies to incremental development processes where small changes have to be propagated -potentially bidirectionally -through a set of inter-dependent design documents which have to be kept consistent with each other. Responding to these challenges, we have developed an approach to tool integration which puts strong emphasis on software architecture and model-driven development. Starting from an abstract description of a software architecture, the architecture is gradually refined down to an implementation level. To integrate heterogeneous engineering tools, wrappers are constructed for abstracting from technical details and for providing homogenized data access. On top of these wrappers, incremental integration tools provide for inter-document consistency. These tools are based on graph models of the respective document classes and graph transformation rules for maintaining inter-document consistency. Altogether, the collection of support tools and the respective infrastructure considerably leverage the problem of composing a tightly integrated development environment from a set of heterogeneous engineering tools.
