CoinsExtractor: The Architects' Buddy in Identifying Conceptual Interoperability Constraints
Article No.: 69, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
Identifying and resolving conceptual mismatches between two software systems are crucial for their successful interoperation. However, it is a tedious and time-consuming task for software architects to manually provide interoperability-relevant information about their software systems, especially in the case of large software systems. This paper demonstrates CoinsExtractor, a novel tool that aids architects in accomplishing this task effectively and efficiently. CoinsExtractor enables architects to determine the interoperable parts of their software system, to automatically extract the interoperability-relevant information about these parts from the existing UML documents of the system, and finally to document the extracted information in a standard way to be shared with third-party clients. To better support the conceptual analysis, CoinsExtractor categorizes the extracted information based on the concepts it presents.
