Content Based Model Transformations: Solutions to Existing Issues with Application in Information Security

Model-Driven Engineering uses models in various stages of the software engineering. To reduce the cost of modelling and production, models are reused by transforming. Therefore the accuracy of model transformations plays a key role in ensuring the quality of the process. However, problems exist when trying to transform a very abstract and content dependent model. This paper describes the issues arising from such transformations. Solutions to solve problems in content based model transformation are proposed as well. The usage of proposed solutions allowing realization of semi-automatic transformations was integrated into a tool, designed for OPC/XML drawing file transformations to CySeMoL models. The accuracy of transformations in this tool has been analyzed and presented in this paper to acquire data on the proposed solutions influence to the accuracy in content based model transformation

A Model Transformation Semantics and Analysis Methodology for SecureUML

SecureUML is a security modeling language for formalizing access control requirements in a declarative way. It is equipped with a \UML notation in terms of a \UML profile, and can be combined with arbitrary design modeling languages. We present a semantics for SecureUML in terms of a model transformation to standard UML/OCL. The transformation scheme is used as part of an implementation of a tool chain ranging from front-end visual modeling tools over code-generators to the interactive theorem proving environment \holocl. The methodological consequences for an analysis of the generated ØCL formulae are discussed

A Model Transformation Semantics and Analysis Methodology for SecureUML

Abstract SecureUML is a security modeling language for formalizing access control requirements in a declarative way. It is equipped with a uml notation in terms of a uml profile, and can be combined with arbitrary design modeling languages. We present a semantics for SecureUML in terms of a model transformation to standard uml/ocl. The transformation scheme is used as part of an implementation of a tool chain ranging from front-end visual modeling tools over code-generators to the interactive theorem proving environment hol-ocl. The methodological consequences for an analysis of the generated ocl formulae are discussed.
