This book describes the concepts and application of model-based development (MBD), model transformations, and Agile MBD to a wide range of software systems. It covers systems requirements engineering, system specification and design, verification, reuse, and system composition in the context of Agile MBD. Examples of applications in finance, system migration, internet systems and software refactoring are given. An established open-source MBD technology, UML-RSDS, is used throughout to illustrate the concepts. The book is suitable for industrial practitioners who need training in Agile MBD, and those who need to understand the issues to be considered when introducing MBD in an industrial context. It is also suitable for academic researchers, and for use as text for undergraduate or postgraduate courses in MBD. Examples for educational use of UML-RSDS are included in the book.
Aimed at 2nd and 3rd year/MSc courses, Model Driven Software Development using UML and Java introduces MDD, MDA and UML, and shows how UML can be used to specify, design, verify and implement software systems using an MDA approach. Structured to follow two lecture courses, one intermediate (UML, MDA, specification, design, model transformations) and one advanced (software engineering of web applications and enterprise information systems), difficult concepts are illustrated with numerous examples, and exercises with worked solutions are provided throughout.
In this textbook the authors introduce the important concepts of the financial software domain, and motivate the use of an agile software engineering approach for the development of financial software. They describe the role of software in defining financial models and in computing results from these models. Practical examples from bond pricing, yield curve estimation, share price analysis and valuation of derivative securities are given to illustrate the process of financial software engineering. Financial Software Engineering also includes a number of case studies based on typical financial engineering problems: *Internal rate of return calculation for bonds * Macaulay duration calculation for bonds * Bootstrapping of interest rates * Estimation of share price volatility * Technical analysis of share prices * Re-engineering Matlab to C# * Yield curve estimation * Derivative security pricing * Risk analysis of CDOs The book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate study, and for practitioners who wish to extend their knowledge of software engineering techniques for financial applications
The Model Driven Architecture defines an approach where the specification of the functionality of a system can be separated from its implementation on a particular technology platform. The idea being that the architecture will be able to easily be adapted for different situations, whether they be legacy systems, different languages or yet to be invented platforms.MDA is therefore, a significant evolution of the object-oriented approach to system development.Advanced System Design with Java, UML and MDA describes the factors involved in designing and constructing large systems, illustrating the design process through a series of examples, including a Scrabble player, a jukebox using web strea...
A coherent and integrated account of the leading UML 2 semantics work and the practical applications of UML semantics development With contributions from leading experts in the field, the book begins with an introduction to UML and goes on to offer in-depth and up-to-date coverage of: The role of semantics Considerations and rationale for a UML system model Definition of the UML system model UML descriptive semantics Axiomatic semantics of UML class diagrams The object constraint language Axiomatic semantics of state machines A coalgebraic semantic framework for reasoning about interaction designs Semantics of activity diagrams Verification of UML models State invariants Model transformation specification and verification Additionally, readers are provided with expert guidance on how to resolve semantic problems and a section on applications of UML semantics with model analysis. UML 2 Semantics and Applications is an ideal resource for researchers and tool-builders working in UML, among others. It is also an excellent textbook for postgraduate teaching and research.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference of B and Z Users, ZB 2000, held in York, UK in August/September 2000. The 25 revised full papers presented together with four invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The book documents the recent advances for the Z formal specification notion and for the B method; the full scope, ranging from foundational and theoretical issues to advanced applications, tools, and case studies, is covered.
Users increasingly demand more from their software than ever beforemore features, fewer errors, faster runtimes. To deliver the best quality products possible, software engineers are constantly in the process of employing novel tools in developing the latest software applications. Progressions and Innovations in Model-Driven Software Engineering investigates the most recent and relevant research on model-driven engineering. Within its pages, researchers and professionals in the field of software development, as well as academics and students of computer science, will find an up-to-date discussion of scientific literature on the topic, identifying opportunities and advantages, and complexities and challenges, inherent in the future of software engineering.
This book constitutes thoroughly revised and selected papers from the Second International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development, MODELSWARD 2014, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in January 2014. The 10 thoroughly revised and extended papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 88 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: invited papers; modeling languages, tools and architectures; and methodologies, processes and platforms.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability and Security, SAFECOMP 2002, held in Catania, Italy in September 2002. The 27 revised papers presented together with 3 keynote presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 69 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on human-computer system dependability, human factors, security, dependability assessment, application of formal methods, reliability assessment, design for dependability, and safety assessment.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the S3E 2023 Topical Area, 24th Conference on Practical Aspects of and Solutions for Software Engineering, KKIO 2023, and 8th Workshop on Advances in Programming Languages, WAPL 2023, as Part of FedCSIS 2023, held in Warsaw, Poland, during September 17–20, 2023. The 6 revised papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 55 submissions. They focus on new ideas and developments in practical aspects and solutions for software engineering.
