Abstract

In order to support multiple perspectives in software development one needs a scheme which expresses explicitly all the views held by the various stakeholders like requirements engineer, software architect, client, user etc. The ViewPoints framework has been developed in the past as a conceptional framework for expressing such a multiple perspective setting in software development projects. In this contribution we describe how this framework is formally described by distributed graph transformation and we demonstrate the applicability of our approach by presenting a non-trivial sample system.
