一种基于规则的模型转换方法

A Rule-based Model Transformation Method

尽管模型驱动开发(MDD)代表软件工程的发展方向,但是目前MDD还缺乏一套完整的转换规则描述方法和相应的实现机制,难以实现模型的自动转换。为此定义了一个平台独立模型到平台相关模型的转换框架,采用UML活动图说明模型转换的实现机制;基于OCL定义了转换规则的表示法,并结合UML模型到Java模型的转换给出了转换规则的定义。最后在一个具体的实例中验证了此方法的合理性和易用性。

Model Driven Development（MDD） represents the direction of the software eng/neering, but so far MDD is short of an integrated transformation description and according execute mechanism. So it is difficult to implement model auto-transformation. This paper defines a transformation framework from platform independent model to platform specific model and uses UML active graph to descript the mechanism of model transformation. Then this paper defines the representation of transformation rules based on OCL and gives the rules combining with the model transformation from model defined with UML to model specified by Java. At last an application example is given to demonstrate the reasonable and convenient of this method.
