Paper Abstract:
|
Model level program code improvement and maintenance is more efficient than performing all these activities on source code level. Source code is used to create the program model if it is not available. The new source code is created after performing the necessary changes in the model. The above mentioned genre of round-trip engineering is more or less supported by CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) tools, with limitations such as fixed model elements and accepted source code, and restrictions such as non modifiable modeling process. Authors were aiming to implement a development infrastructure which supports user initiated component generation. According to their concept, meta-compilers and metagenerators are employed to create components based on metalevel task descriptions. This infrastructure with its main features and the created prototype system are briefly discussed in the present article. |
