  abstract = {Model Driven Development (MDD) has been slowly 
superseding traditional ways of developing embedded software in 
the recent decade. In line with the MDD, debugging Real-Time 
Embedded Software Systems (RTESS) and visualizing their behavior 
using models such as UML diagrams is becoming a reality. However, 
the existing MDD based debugging tools for RTESS are not applicable 
(require significant source code instrumentation, sophisticated 
debug interfaces, etc) for memory-size constrained RTESS. To address 
this, we discuss a model-based debugging methodology for RTESS which 
aims at overcoming the aforementioned limitations. Using our approach, 
the target behavior can be visualized in real-time using UML sequence 
and timing diagrams. We illustrate our approach with a prototype and 
examples. Performance metrics such as the target monitor size and the 
instrumentation overhead are discussed.},

  abstract = {The behavior of commercial systems is described with 
business process models. There are different notations and formalism to 
express business processes. Many of these notations such as BPMN or 
ARIS EPC models are widely used in commercial projects.
In the paper we focus on formalisms to express rules and specifications 
for the business processes. Temporal logic in general is a suitable 
formalism to express rules for dynamic processes. CTL is one kind of 
temporal logic focusing on branches and paths in particular. With CTL 
it is possible to formulate rules about different paths in business 
processes. Since the textual formulae of CTL are not very suitable in 
the development of commercial systems we introduce a graphical 
notation (G-CTL) based on the business process notation ARIS EPC. 
Moreover, we add to the CTL semantics specializers to differentiate 
between the element types in business process models and provide 
wildcards which allow the user to check for unknown elements or 
elements with only partially known properties.},

  abstract = {System quality is a key issue in modern systems development. 
Tool support is essential for checking the system quality efficiently. This is 
particularly true with respect to the dynamic interactions of the processes within 
a system. A first generation of checkers - model checkers - provide a basic technology 
for the verification of process-based systems.
Conventional model checkers bear two drawbacks concerning mainly their user-friendliness 
which impede their broad application. First, model checkers in general do not support 
the graphical representation of rules (specifications). Although a model may be 
described with a graphical notation the specification which has to be checked against 
the model is generally still text-based. This makes the usage of the checker difficult 
for process modeling experts. Second, the expressiveness concerning the verification 
model semantics to be checked is limited to states which are connected by transitions. 
However, many system development models (e.g. the business process model we use as 
example) embrace more element types. These are unsupported by the conventional model 
checkers resulting in a loss of verification precision.
The checking system we present in this paper integrates both novelties: the graphical 
notation for a user-friendly specification and an extended specification language 
together with a corresponding verifier which supports the checking of many different 
types of elements (although the paper presents the approach with only two types). 
The integration is realized by an XML-based transformation system which links the 
graphical editor to the checking tool.},

  abstract = {Business Process Management is a paradigm for enterprise 
computing that uses IT not only to support or execute business processes but 
also to continuously monitor and improve these processes to better achieve 
business objectives. A variant on Business Process Management, called 
Semantic Business Process Management, is meant to further close the gap 
between business and IT by attaching business semantics to the technology 
artifacts used for Business Process Management. A current problem in Semantic 
Business Process Management is that the specification of the business 
requirements that processes must respond to and that follow from the 
enterprise's strategic decisions, is not fully integrated within the design of 
the processes themselves. In this paper, we propose an approach in which 
business requirements for business processes are formally modeled and the 
skeleton of the designs of these business processes is automatically generated 
from these models. The approach presented here focuses upon the modeling of 
policies (i.e., a kind of business requirements for business processes) and on 
the subsequent design of business processes that comply to these policies. 
A first contribution is extending an existing goal-oriented requirements 
specification language, i.e. Formal Tropos, to incorporate policies, called 
Policy-extended Formal Tropos. A second contribution is offering an automated 
transformation to create business process design skeletons out of the 
Policy-extended Formal Tropos models. The paper also reports upon three pilot 
studies that were conducted as a first, though preliminary, empirical test of 
our approach.},

  abstract = {In the software development (e. g. with product lines or refactoring) 
transformations play an increasing role. To ease and automate these transformations, 
we propose a solution based on the operator hierarchy concept. It allows to define 
transformation operator hierarchies containing different levels of transformation 
operators. The operators capture reusable knowledge units. 
The concrete realization of such a higher-level transformation language construction 
is demonstrated by an application of the XML operator hierarchy concept to the 
transformation language XSLT. XSLT serves as an example which is employed to provide 
the elementary transformation operators. On top of these elementary operators the 
layered concept allows the definition of new higher-level operators, e. g. 
domain-independent and domain-specific ones. In an application example the construction 
of the higher-level language XML2DSV is presented. This is a stand-alone domain-specific 
transformation language, which can be used to create delimiter-separated values (DSV) 
files from XML documents, on the base of XSLT. 
We developed XTC (XML Transformation Coordinator) to automate the multi-level 
transformation process.},

  abstract = {Model-driven architecture aims at describing a system using a 
platform-independent model in sufficient detail so that the full implementation of the 
system can be generated from this model and a platform model. This implies that the  
platform-independent model must describe the static structure as well as the dynamic 
behavior of the system. We propose a declarative language for describing the behavior 
of platform-independent models based on a hybrid notation that uses graphical elements 
as well as textual elements in the form of OCL code snippets. Compared to existing 
approaches based on action languages it is situated at a higher level of abstraction 
and, through a clean separation of modifier operations and query operations, simplifies 
the comprehension of the behavioral aspects of the platform-independent system.}

  abstract = {Many approaches such as component technologies have been invented in 
order to support software reuse. Based on these technologies a large variety of 
techniques have been introduced to connect components. However, there is little 
experience concerning the validation of component systems. We know how to plug 
components together, but we do need ways to check whether that works. 
In this paper we introduce an approach to validating component compositions and showing 
how such a process can be supported by tools. We introduce a way to compare the 
interface specification of components automatically against the code. Furthermore, we 
demonstrate how compositions of components can be specified by logical formulas, 
allowing us to automatically validate these compositions.}
