Theory and Practice of Model Transformation
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Model Transformation, ICMT 2017, held as part of STAF 2017, in Marburg, Germany, in July 2017. The 9 full papers and 2 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 31 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: transformation paradigms, languages, algorithms and strategies; development of transformations; and applications and case studies.
Security Compliance in Model-driven Development of Software Systems in Presence of Long-Term Evolution and Variants
For ensuring a software system's security, it is vital to keep up with changing security precautions, attacks, and mitigations. Although model-based development enables addressing security already at design-time, design models are often inconsistent with the implementation or among themselves. An additional burden are variants of software systems. To ensure security in this context, we present an approach based on continuous automated change propagation, allowing security experts to specify security requirements on the most suitable system representation. We automatically check all system representations against these requirements and provide security-preserving refactorings for preserving security compliance. For both, we show the application to variant-rich software systems. To support legacy systems, we allow to reverse-engineer variability-aware UML models and semi-automatically map existing design models to the implementation. Besides evaluations of the individual contributions, we demonstrate the approach in two open-source case studies, the iTrust electronics health records system and the Eclipse Secure Storage.
Composing Model-Based Analysis Tools
This book presents joint works of members of the software engineering and formal methods communities with representatives from industry, with the goal of establishing the foundations for a common understanding of the needs for more flexibility in model-driven engineering. It is based on the Dagstuhl Seminar 19481 „Composing Model-Based Analysis Tools“, which was held November 24 to 29, 2019, at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, where current challenges, their background and concepts to address them were discussed. The book is structured in two parts, and organized around five fundamental core aspects of the subject: (1) the composition of languages, models and analyses; (2) the integration and ...
Modelling Foundations and Applications
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications, ECMFA 2018, held as part of STAF 2018, in Toulouse, France, in June 2018. The 19 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The cover topics such as (bidirectional and unidirectional) model transformations, model management, re-engineering, modelling environments, verification and validation, and domain-specific modelling w.r.t. business processes, automotive software, and safety-critical software.
Heuristic and Knowledge-Based Security Checks of Source Code Artifacts Using Community Knowledge
The goal of this dissertation is to support developers in applying security checks using community knowledge. Artificial intelligence approaches combined with natural language processing techniques are employed to identify security-related information from community websites such as Stack Overflow or GitHub. All security-related information is stored in a security knowledge base. This knowledge base provides code fragments that represent the community´s knowledge about vulnerabilities, security-patches, and exploits. Comprehensive knowledge is required to carry out security checks on software artifacts, such as data covering known vulnerabilities and their manifestation in the source code a...
Consistent View-Based Management of Variability in Space and Time
Developing variable systems faces many challenges. Dependencies between interrelated artifacts within a product variant, such as code or diagrams, across product variants and across their revisions quickly lead to inconsistencies during evolution. This work provides a unification of common concepts and operations for variability management, identifies variability-related inconsistencies and presents an approach for view-based consistency preservation of variable systems.
A Journey from Process Algebra via Timed Automata to Model Learning
This Festschrift, dedicated to Frits W. Vaandrager on the occasion of his 60th birthday, contains papers written by many of his closest collaborators. Frits has been a Professor of Informatics for Technical Applications at Radboud University Nijmegen since 1995, where his research focuses on formal methods, concurrency theory, verification, model checking, and automata learning. The volume contains contributions of colleagues, Ph.D. students, and researchers with whom Frits has collaborated and inspired, reflecting a wide spectrum of scientific interests, and demonstrating successful work at the highest levels of both theory and practice.
Managed Software Evolution
This open access book presents the outcomes of the “Design for Future – Managed Software Evolution” priority program 1593, which was launched by the German Research Foundation (“Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)”) to develop new approaches to software engineering with a specific focus on long-lived software systems. The different lifecycles of software and hardware platforms lead to interoperability problems in such systems. Instead of separating the development, adaptation and evolution of software and its platforms, as well as aspects like operation, monitoring and maintenance, they should all be integrated into one overarching process. Accordingly, the book is split into thr...
How Scientific Instruments Speak
Science is highly dependent on technologies to observe scientific objects. For example, astronomers need telescopes to observe planetary movements, and cognitive neuroscience depends on brain imaging technologies to investigate human cognition. But how do such technologies shape scientific practice, and how do new scientific objects come into being when new technologies are used in science? In How Scientific Instruments Speak, Bas de Boer develops a philosophical account of how technologies shape the reality that scientists study, arguing that we should understand scientific instruments as mediating technologies. Rather than mute tools serving pre-existing human goals, scientific instruments...
Graph Transformation
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Graph Transformation, ICGT 2019, held as part of STAF 2019, in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in July2019. The 12 research papers and 1 tool paper presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. The papers deal with the following topics: Theory, Analysis and Verification, Tools and Applications, and Transformation Rules Construction and Matching.
