Agenda

• Available OMG Specifications
• Why a UML Profile for CCM
• Suggested Mandatory Requirements
• Suggested Optional Requirements
• Intended Roadmap

3
Available OMG Specifications

• MDA as the general architecture
• Software development is done model based
• Platform independent models are mapped to
  platform specific models
• UML serves as general purpose modeling language
• PIMs and PSMs can be specified using UML
• Profiles are available for PIM (EDOC) and PSM
  (CORBA, EJB)
• CCM is the component infrastructure based on
  CORBA
• CCM models can currently not specified with UML
  though CCM models are PSMs in the sense of MDA

Benefits of a UML Profile for CCM

• Graphical modeling support for the CCM metamodel
  concepts
• MDA development environments can target different
  up-to-date component platforms.
• The UML profile for CORBA is extended to allow
  the modeling of additional concepts of IDL 3.0
  and CIDL
• Interoperability between various analysis and
  design tools is ensured

7
Suggested Mandatory Requirements

• Submissions shall specify a UML profile suitable
  for expressing all semantics expressible using
  the concepts of the CCM metamodel

8
Suggested Mandatory Requirements

• The profile shall conform to the OMG Meta Object
  Facility. In particular, Well-Formedness Rules
  that are part of the profile shall be defined as
  instances of MOF Constraint

9
Suggested Mandatory Requirements

• Submissions shall provide sample analyses and
  designs expressed in terms of the profile.
• UML model for the philosophers demo
• UML model for EDOC examples?
• ATM models with CCM?

Suggested Optional Requirements

• Transformation rules should be defined to declare
  how EDOC specifications can be transformed to CCM
  specifications
