Automatic Application of Behavior-Preserving Transformations to Improve Non-Functional Properties of an Architecture Specification

Speaker: Lars Grunske

When: 4:00, Friday, 10 September 2004

Venue: 78-420

In particular for safety critical systems it is necessary to make sure that the non-functional properties imposed by a system architecture meet the corresponding requirements as early as possible. Therefore, appropriate quality improving architectural transformations have to be applied in the design phase in case the non-functional properties do not fulfill their requirements. As the selection and application of appropriate architectural transformations is a time consuming task and demands for personal effort, there is the idea to automate the architecture evolution process. In this talk, an approach is presented that uses hypergraph grammars to improve the quality of an architecture specification.
