Business Rules Separation and Reuse Using MDA, OWL and AspectJ

Abstract— Two important challenges for MDA designers are to make business rules independent of the specific platform model and to ensure the resulting implementation does not violate the specified properties in the application domain. In this paper we present an approach that allows developers to both describe and corroborate domain properties at run time. In our approach, an ontology specifies domain properties and translates it to aspect-oriented code. The implementation code could be automatically merged. As a result, we will be able to perform approval tests at runtime and to create business rules reused in other MDA specific models. This novel approach shall be evaluates in a toolkit for reengineering an industrial furnace management application.

Uma Nova Abordagem para Validação de Regras de Negócio Através de Transformação e Composição de Modelos MDA

Abstract. Two important challenges for MDA designers are to make business rules independent of the platform specific model and to ensure that the resulting implementation does not violate the properties within these business rules. In this paper we present an approach that allows developers to both describe and verify domain properties at run time. In our approach, an ontology specifies domain properties that are translated to aspect-oriented code. This code is automatically merged in the implementation. As a result, we are able to execute validation tests at runtime and to generate business rules that can be reused in other MDA specific models. We evaluated our approach and toolkit by successfully reengineering an industrial furnace management application.

Proposta de uma Arquitetura para o Gerenciamento de Regras de Negócio em LPS com Base na MDA

 Abstract. Are upheld in the SPL domain all business rules that define semantics links between entities for its completeness. By any change in business needs implies to keep of these rules up-to-date and is necessary to fix several application code to realize manually the necessary repair, making it a hard work for developers. The purpose of this works to create a new boarding to support software products in front of constant changes of business rules in this scenario, with thought at the reference architecture to manage them.

Decomposição de Interesses Transversais de Middlewares usando um Modelo de Aspectos

Abstract. The middleware, when appeared in the computation scene, was thought about facilities the systems implementation. The technologies and the requirements such as: persistence, security and transaction have become it enough complex, therefore, are spread between the components, having increased the difficulty of systems implementation and maintenance. This work, it makes a bibliographical revision of technologies diverse that aim at the reduction of the complex about middleware’s, explain a emergent solution, the aspect-oriented programming .
