Abstract

The goal of this work is an analysis, design and implementation of a software product for .NET platform for modeling and reconfiguration of existing software processes, namely behavioral perspective of the software process using UML activity diagram. Software process itself is represented in a metamodel based on existing research of Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, VŠB-TUO. Theoretical part covers essential theoretical concepts of software process metamodels, UML activity diagrams, and XML. The practical part is focused on implementation of a software product that allows users to graphically model the behavioral perspective of a particular software process using UML activity diagram notation. Implementation platform is .NET, namely .NET WPF. Input for this software product is an OWL/XML knowledge base containing concrete software process model created with Protége 5.0. A brief description of Northwoods Software library for diagram drawing in .NET WPF ‘GoXam’ and an OWL/XML data mining interface ‘OWL API’ by the University of Manchester is also included.
