Modelling Foundations and Applications

8th European Conference, ECMFA 2012, Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark, July 2-5, 2012, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications, held in Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark, in July 2012. The 20 revised full foundations track papers and 10 revised full applications track papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions. Papers on all aspects of MDE were received, including topics such as architectural modelling and product lines, code generation, domain-specic modeling, metamodeling, model analysis and verication, model management, model transformation and simulation. The breadth of topics, as well as the high quality of the results presented in these accepted papers, demonstrate the maturity and vibrancy of the field.

Contemporary software systems contain a large number of artifacts expressed in
multiple languages, ranging from domain-specific languages to general purpose
languages. These artifacts are interrelated to form software systems. Existing
development environments insufficiently support handling relations between
artifacts in multiple languages. This paper presents a taxonomy for multi-
language development environments, organized according to language
representation, ...

The Street-Smart Trader

An insider's guide to the City

To the outsider the City is still something of a mystery. Independent traders and investors may study the financial pages and log on to websites to read about the markets, yet what they find there will generally give them little concept of the realities of City business.

Likewise programmed, or black-box, share dealing makes it easier for the
professional to trade at the flick of a key stroke, but far more difficult for the
independent trader to make sense of the market's movements. Such algorithmic
or robo-trading involves the automatic execution of trades determined in advance
by a carefully written computer trading program, and inevitably produces
somewhat peculiar and irrational quirks now and then, as well as being far more
subtle. The same is ...

Why Privacy Isn't Everything

Feminist Reflections on Personal Accountability

Accountability protects public health and safety, facilitates law enforcement, and enhances national security, but it is much more than a bureaucratic concern for corporations, public administrators, and the criminal justice system. In Why Privacy Isn't Everything, Anita L. Allen provides a highly original treatment of neglected issues affecting the intimacies of everyday life, and freshly examines how a preeminent liberal society accommodates the competing demands of vital privacy and vital accountability for personal matters. Thus, 'None of your business ' is at times the wrong thing to say, as much of what appears to be self-regarding conduct has implications for others that should have some bearing on how a person chooses to act. The book addresses such questions as, What does it mean to be accountable for conduct? For what personal matters am I accountable, and to whom? Allen concludes that the sticky webs of accountability that encase ordinary life are flexible enough to accommodate egalitarian moral, legal and social practices that are highly consistent with contemporary feminist reconstructions of liberalism.

It is worth noting, however, that people also lie to protect the privacy of others.
They lie attempting to conceal facts about others' affairs. President Clinton's
secretary, Betty Currie, may have done this. We lie sometimes to protect our
friends, members of our families, or our lovers. We may also lie because we
believe that we have a professional duty to guard zealously the confidentiality of
personal, business, legal, and medical information about other people. Public

Riding the Wave Inside Out

Life is a complicated process. It begins with having to completely rely on and trust in another's beliefs, ideas, and decisions. By the time we first wonder for ourselves, we may find that we are already bound by someone else's expectations, desires, and dreams, which in itself may lead us to live lives of compromise and unfulfilled hopes. The lives we live, the roads we travel, and the way our paths unfold are for us to shape and direct ~ in our experiences and in the dreams we choose to pursue. Author Anita Allison offers insight and support through the teachings in riding the wave inside-out to help us realize what we need to understand and do to ensure that the paths we choose and the choices we make will enable us to create the best life possible. The ideas and thoughts she shares in riding the wave inside out serve as reminders of all the simple truths in life. These concepts act as guides to living in the moment with joy, appreciation, and a sound purpose.

“When we choose to cheat, lie and take the easier path, it will never lead us to the
great things in life, it will never bring us true success and happiness; we will
always be short-changed, for we always get what we give. What goes around
comes around, it always does. Never lie to yourself. Always be honest with
yourself. If the truth hurts, just remember that a lie will lead to so much more hurt
and will also bring embarrassment, guilt and regret. Nothing good comes easy,
right'? Often ...

Applying Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML

An Anotated E-commerce Example

" Applying Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML: An Annotated e-Commerce Example " is a practical, hands-on guide to putting use case methods to work in real-world situations. This workbook is a companion to "Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML." It bridges the gap between the theory presented in the main book and the practical issues involved in the development of an Internet e-commerce application. Uniquely conceived as a workbook and featuring as a running example an e-commerce system for an online bookstore, "Applying Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML" examines design in detail, demonstrating the most common design mistakes and the correct design solutions. The hands-on exercises allow you to detect, identify, and correct critical errors on your own, before reviewing the solutions provided in the book. Structured around the proven ICONIX Process, this workbook presents a streamlined approach to UML modeling designed to avoid analysis paralysis without skipping analysis and design. The book presents the four key phases of this minimalist approach to use case driven design--domain modeling, use case modeling, robustness analysis, and sequence diagramming--and for each topic provides an overview, detailed discussion, list of common mistakes, and a set of exercises for honing object modeling and design skills. The three chapters on reviews are also unique. The authors devote a chapter each to requirements review, preliminary design review, and critical design review. This focus on "designing quality in" by teaching how to review UML models fills a major gap in the published literature. Through examples, " Applying Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML " shows you how to avoid more than seventy specific design errors, as illustrated by the "Top 10" error lists included as a handy key on the inside covers and within each chapter. With the information, examples, and exercises found here, you will develop the knowledge and skills you need to apply use case modeling more effectively to your next application. 0201730391B08022001

Enterprise Modeling with UML

Designing Successful Software Through Business Analysis

"Written for practitioners interested in business systems and software applications, this book fuses object technology, workflow, data warehousing, and distributed system concepts into a coherent model that has been successfully implemented worldwide. Enterprises using these concepts are well positioned to thrive in the emerging global business arena. Enterprise Modeling with UML describes specific methods for modeling large, complex, and adaptable enterprise systems, using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to illustrate its concepts and components." "Enterprise Modeling with UML addresses in detail the four key elements of an enterprise model: purpose, processes, entities, and organization. Written from a business perspective rather than technical standpoint, the book covers such vital topics as: formalizing business concepts, models, and components; creating and communicating the value of an enterprise; designing, scheduling, tracking, and automating processes; describing business entities in organizational contexts; modeling hierarchical and networked organizations and coordinating such organizations to form value chains; and building adaptable enterprise systems from reusable software components."
