Transformation of Models Containing Uncertainty Michalis Famelis, Rick Salay, Alessio Di Sandro, Marsha Chechik University of Toronto MODELS 2013, Miami Beach, FL
This is Natalie. Natalie is a modeler. Natalie faces uncertainty in her everyday work.
Alternative Designs Hmm, I don’t know which one, yet.
Conflicting Stakeholder Opinions What do I do until they decide?
Incomplete Information I don’t know everything about this, yet.
Uncertainty in software development Many design alternatives Incomplete information Conflicting stakeholder opinions Uncertainty about the content of the model.
Transformations Like everygood MBE practitioner,Natalie usesa variety of MTs
Transformations Like everygood MBE practitioner,Natalie usesa variety of MTs The transformations assume inputs that don’t contain uncertainty
Transformations Like everygood MBE practitioner,Natalie usesa variety of MTs The transformations assume inputs that don’t contain uncertainty But only too often, Natalie’s models contain uncertainty:
Transforming Models with Uncertainty Natalie should be able to use model transformations
Transforming Models with Uncertainty Natalie should be able to use model transformations
Transforming Models with Uncertainty Natalie should be able to use model transformations Existing transformation techniques do not support this! To apply MTs, Natalie is forced to artificially remove uncertainty
Transforming Models with Uncertainty Natalie should be able to use model transformations Existing transformation techniques do not support this! We need to liftNatalie’s transformations so that they can apply to models with uncertainty
