Abstract:

The coarse-grained model transformation is an important technical requirement on the Model-Driven Software Development(MDSD)scene.It is not enough to meet this requirement only by defining the general model transformation languages.One of the reasons is that the general model transform ation langu ages work at the level of metamodels of specific modeling langu ages,but not at the level of general design intentions.In this paper,a PSL
(Pattern Semantic Link)metamodelling method is proposed.The heavyweight extension of the UML(Unified Mo-design intentions.UML Action Semantics and the metamodel inheritance are then used to realize the automatic pattern generation and transform ation.The proposed method can efectively support the coarse-grained model transform ation at the level of general design intentions.

Key words: pattern semantic link, unified modeling language, object constraint language, design intention, model transform ation, automatic pattern generation
