A Methodology for Standards-Driven Metamodel Fusion

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 6918))

Abstract

This paper describes a model-driven development methodology that supports the design, implementation and maintenance of complex, evolving systems. The key asset in this methodology is a domain specific design ontology which incorporates multiple aspects of the system under design. The methodology considers different input data and metamodels during the information fusion and uniformization.

The aim of this ontology building is threefold: i) it helps the early phase of system design and modeling, ii) it provides a basis for conformance check and validation, and iii) facilitates the generation of skeletons (data mode, service interface, process structure, business rules and assertions, etc.) which are conform with the standards and domain requirements.

The methodology is illustrated on an example logistics system of the e-Freight European project.

This work was partially supported by the e-Freight EU FP7 project (233758).
