Concretization of the structural and behavioral models based on model transformation paradigm for heterogeneous mobile software

Abstract

Most model transformation approaches expressed to transform the static model structures of a system, but not involved with the behavioral model. Our previous model transformation [10] also focused on the structural model, especially class diagram, which was restricted to generate a detailed code. To solve this problem, we propose model transformation with both structural and behavioral models, that is, a message sequence diagram with a class diagram for developing heterogeneous software. This approach makes it possible to generate detailed codes through the static & behavioral expression of a system. This is also better to transform more specific design than the previous structure-based model transformation based on only static structure [11-15]. We show the application cases to perform model transformation on the three platforms-Android, iPhone, and Windows Phone.
