Abstract

The proposed 2+1 view integrated metamodel defined formerly with a graphical class model can not be guaranteed the syntactic clarity and accuracy precisely for the metamodel due to the informal specification. This paper specifies the syntactic semantics formally for the 2+1 view integrated metamodel using Z and Object-Z and checks the accuracy of the metamodel with Z/Eves tool. The formal specification is expressed in Z and Object-Z schema separately for syntax and statics semantics of the 2+1 view integrated metamodel, which applying the converting rule between class model and Z/Object-Z. The accuracy of the Z specification for the metamodel is verified using Z/Eves tool, which can check the syntax, type, and domain of the Z specification. The transformation specification and checking of the 2+1 view integrated metamodel can help establish more accurate the syntactic semantics of its construct and check the accuracy of the metamodel.

시각적인 클래스 모델로 기 제시된 2+1 View 통합 메타모델은 비정형적인 명세에 기인하여 명확하게 모델의 구문을 표현하지 못하고 있으며, 또한 그 모델의 정확성을 보장할 수 없다. 본 논문은 Z와 Object-Z를 사용해서 2+1 View 통합 메타모델의 구문적 의미를 정형적으로 명세하고, Z/Eves 툴을 통해 메타모델의 정확성을 검사하는 것이다. 정형 명세는 클래스 모델과 Z/Object-Z간의 변환규칙을 적용해서 2+1 View 통합 메타모델의 구문과 정적 시멘틱에 대해 Z와 Object-Z 스키마로 각각 표현한다. 메타모델의 검사는 Z 스키마 명세에 대해 Z/Eves 도구를 사용하여 구문, 타입 검사 그리고 도메인 검사를 수행하여 메타모델의 정확성을 입증한다. 이로서, 2+1 View 통합 메타모델 메타모델의 Z/Object-Z 변환을 통해 구조물의 구문적 의미를 명확하게 표현할 수 있으며, 또한 그 메타모델의 정확성을 검사할 수 있다.
