Use Cases have achieved wide use as specification tool for observable
behavior of systems, yet there remains a large gap between behavioral
specifications and determination of software components to be built or
procured. The “Use Cases in Model-Driven Software Engineering”
(the 2005 incarnation of the “Open Issues in Industrial Use Case
Modeling” workshop series) will bring together use case experts from
industry and academia to identify and characterize some problem areas and
some promising approaches. The
integration of use cases within Model Driven Software Engineering requires a
better definition of use case contents, specifically a better definition of
use case description of behavior through sequences of action steps, use case
pre and post conditions, and relationship between use case model and
conceptual model. The UML2 specification allows for several textual and
graphical representations of use case behavior, but does not provide any
rules for transformations between different representations at the same level
of abstraction. It does not provide either any rules
for transformations of these representations to other artifacts at levels
closer to implementation. With this workshop we hope to fill the
“requirements gap” in the current research on model-driven
methodologies. This gap can be filled by resourceful application of use case
models. |
