Abstract

Component Based Development (CBD) is appealing as a technology to improve the productivity of software development through component reuse. Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a new development paradigm which automatically generates application by transforming design models incrementally. Since both reusability of CBD and model transformation of MDA increase software productivity. integration of two technologies is desirable. To enable this technology integration, we need to devise a UML profile for specifying component design as a PIM. In this paper, we first define a meta-model for components, and propose a UML profile which is used to specify elements of component design as PIM. Since the proposed profile is based on Meta Object Facility (MOF) from which is MDA is derived, it is consistent and compatible with existing MDA methods and tools.

컴포넌트 기반 개발(CBD) 기술은 컴포넌트 재사용을 통해 S/W 개발 생산성을 높이는 기술로 각광을 받고 있다. 모델기반 아키텍처 (Model Driven Architecture, MDA)는 설계 모델을 점진적으로 변환하여 S/W를 자동으로 생성하는 새로운 개발 방식이다［1］. CBD기술은 재사용을 통하여, MDA 기술은 모델 변환을 통하여 S/W 개발 생산성을 높이므로, 이 두 기술의 접목은 SW 재사용과 자동 생산의 두 가지 장점을 모두 이룰 수 있다. 이를 위해서는 설계된 컴포넌트를 MDA의 플랫폼 독립적 모델 (PIM)로 명세하여야 하며, UML 확장 장치 즉 CBD용 UML 프로파일이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 명세할 컴포넌트의 구성요소를 메타 모델로 정의하고, 각 구성요소를 PIM으로 명세하기 위한 컴포넌트용 UML 프로파일을 제안한다. 이 프로파일은 컴포넌트 명세를 위한 스테레오 타입, 구문(Syntactic), 의미 (Semantic), 규약(Contract) 및 표기법으로 이구어진다. 제안된 프로파일은 MDA 표준 규약의 기반인 Meta Object Facility (MOF)를 확장 적용한 것이므로 여러 MDA 기법과 도구들과 호환을 제공한다. 제안된 프로파일을 적용하면 CBD와 MDA의 고유 기능과 장점을 접목하여 높은 개발 생산성, 이식성, 상호 운용성, 및 유지보수성을 가질 수 있다.
