Using a Graph Transformation System to Improve the Quality of Characteristics of UML-RT Specifications
Lars Gunske · IGI Global eBooks · 2005
This chapter presents the concept of graph-based architecture evolution and how this concept can be applied to improve the quality characteristics of a software system. For this purpose, the UML-RT used as an architectural specification language is mapped to a hypergraph-based data structure. Thus, transformation operators can be specified as hypergraph transformation rules and applied automatically.
