The final executable code should no longer be considered as a central element in a software development process but rather a naturally important component that results from a model transformation. The objective of the MDA (Model Driven Architecture) approach is to lift the lock of software development automation from the CIM (Computation Independent Model) requirements until the code of an application is obtained. Therefore, we have proposed in the framework of MDA an approach that consists of automatically generating object-oriented code from the CIM model represented by ReLEL (Restructuring extended Lexical Elaborate Language). ReLEL is a natural language-oriented model that represents both the client requirements and the conceptual level of a system. However, the MDA framework does not recommend the type of UML model that corresponds to each business activity. Consequently, automating the software development process from the CIM model specified by ReLEL becomes a complex task. Our strategy in this paper includes the instantiation of the ReLEL model in the Praxeme methodology, which models each of the company's concerns, grouped in a homogeneous whole, using the UML (Unified Modeling Language) and which considers the articulation of these aspects by adopting the MDA principle. To do this, we propose to automate the articulation that covers the intentional, semantic, logical, and software aspects of Praxeme. To validate our approach, we measure the coupling and cohesion of the UML class diagram obtained from the Java code generated from this article using the slicing technique. The results show that the coupling is weak, and the cohesion is strong. It can be deduced that the method proposed in this paper can produce a more reliable and efficient system.

Bahasa Mandarin merupakan salah satu Bahasa yang terkenal di seluruh dunia. Ada sekitar 1.302 juta orang dengan berbagai kalangan umur telah menggunakan Bahasa mandarin, sehingga karena alasan tersebut banyak sekolah termasuk Sekolah Dasar (SD) Advent 1 Tikala Manado telah memasukkan Bahasa Mandarin sebagai salah satu mata pelajaran Bahasa asing. Namun siswa-siswa SD Advent 1 Tikala Manado merasa kesulitan dalam mempelajari Bahasa Mandarin dikarenakan tidak adanya media pembelajaran yang dapat membantu mereka dalam mempelajari Bahasa Mandarin di luar jam sekolah. Aplikasi pembelajaran Bahasa Mandarin Dasar merupakan solusi untuk membantu siswa SD Advent 1 Tikala Manado dalam mempelajari Bahasa Mandarin, baik dalam proses pembelajaran di sekolah maupun di luar sekolah. Unified Software Development Process (USDP) merupakan metode pengembangan perangkat lunak yang prosesnya dikendalikan oleh Use Case (use case driven) dan dikerjakan secara berulang (iterative) sehingga pada akhirnya menghasilkan perangkat lunak terintegrasi berukuran besar yang terbentuk secara bertahap (Incremental) dengan bantuan Unified Modeling Language (UML) sebagai alat bantu utama analisis dan perancangan sistem perangkat lunak. Aplikasi pembelajaran Bahasa Mandarin Dasar dibuat dengan fitur belajar dan bermain. Fitur belajar dilengkapi dengan materi pengajaran yang digolongkan ke dalam  beberapa kategori yaitu kategori kelas 1, kelas 2, dan kelas 3 serta sub fitur berupa suara dengan tujuan siswa bisa mengetahui cara pengucapan suatu kata. Dengan dibuatnya aplikasi ini diharapkan agar aplikasi ini bisa membantu siswa dalam mempelajari Bahasa Mandarin pada jam sekolah maupun diluar jam sekolah.

System analysis is the most important Part of the software life cycle. A successful software system is always based on good analysis. Modeling with UML has become a trend in object-oriented analysis and design. This paper firstly discusses object-oriented software development process based on UML (Unified Modeling Language), then describes in details object-oriented software design process, and lastly applies the design process into business personnel management system.

Successful management of a software project, besides a well-defined project development process, requires an early estimate of project complexity. In a prevailing practice, software development costs usually have been determined a posteriori i.e. after software project implementation. It is essential however, to know this estimate a priori, i.e., before commencement of works. This paper presents an attempt to construct a methodology that would enable an early estimate of software development cost and its refinements during subsequent development phases. The methodology assumes an object-oriented approach based on the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Unified Software Development Process (USDP). It outlines an Use Case Driven Architecture-Centric, Iterative and Incremental estimate process that could significantly improve and simplify early cost estimates. The presented methodology is illustrated on example of the POST software development project.

This chapter aims to present a new modeling paradigm that promises to significantly increase the efficiency of developing enterprise information systems. Currently, the software industry faces considerable challenges as it tries to build larger, more complex, software systems with fewer resources. Although modern programming languages such as C++ and Java have in general improved the software development process, they have failed to significantly increase developer’s productivity. Thus, developers are considering other paths to address this issue. One of the potential paths is designing, developing and deploying enterprise information systems using the Model Driven Architecture (MDA). MDA is a model-centric approach that allows for modeling the overall business of an enterprise and capturing requirements to developing, deploying, integrating, and managing different kinds of software components without considering any particular implementation technology. At the center of this approach are models; the software development process is driven by constructing models representing the software under development. Code that expresses the implementation of the model in a certain underlying technology is obtained as a result of model transformation. Thus, the intellectual investment spent in developing the business model of an enterprise is not jeopardized by the continuous changes of the implementation technologies. Currently there are two main approaches trying to implement MDA-based tools. One of the approaches is based on the Object Constraint Language and the other on Action Language. An example of designing, developing and deploying an application using this new modeling paradigm is presented. The MDA approach to software development is considered as the biggest shift since the move from Assembler to the first high level languages.

Granular computing as a methodology of problem solving has been extensively applied in a variety of fields for a long history, but the special research interest in granular computing has only been developed in past decades. So far most granular computing researchers address the mathematical foundation and/or the computation model of granular computing. However, granular computing is not only a computing model for computer-centered problem solving, but also a thinking model for human-centered problem solving. Fortunately, some authors have presented the structures of such kind models and investigated various perspectives of granular computing from different application points of views. In this paper we present the principles, models, components, strategies, and applications of granular computing. Our focus will be on the applications of granular computing in various aspects and phases of the object-oriented software development process, including user requirement specification and analysis, software system analysis and design, algorithm design, structured programming, software testing, and system deployment design. Our objective is to reveal the importance and usefulness of granular computing as a human-centered problem solving strategy in object-oriented software development process.

Model driven architecture (MDA) is an architecture specification of software development proposed by OMG in July 2001. MDA holds that the best way of software development is to enhance the level of abstraction of the system, isolate the design and implementation of the system, and separate the business conduct, so as to overcome the difficulties caused by the complexity of software. This paper presents the basic concept and core technology, and gives the software development process based on MDA.

The Model-Driven Development (MDD) approach shifts the focus on code to models in the software development process. In MDD, model transformations are elements that play an important role. MDD-based projects evolve along their lifecycle in a way that changes in their transformations are frequent. Before applying changes it is important to measure their impacts within the transformation. However, currently no technique helps practitioners in this direction. We propose an approach to measure the change impact in ATL model transformations. Based on static analysis, it detects the elements impacted by a change and calculates the change impact value through three metrics we defined. By using our approach, practitioners can (i) save effort and development time since the elements impacted with the change are automatically detected and (ii) better schedule and prioritize changes according to the impact value. To empirically evaluate our approach we conducted a case study.
