YAZILIM YENİDEN YAPILAMAYA YÖNELİK BİR KURUMSAL MİMARI: MODEL GÜDÜMLÜ VE ONTOLOJİ TABANLI BİR YAKLAŞIM
Tekrar kullanılabilirlik, bütünleştirme, anlamsal iletişim ve birlikte çalışabilirlik Yazılım Yeniden Yapılama (YYY) projelerinde karşılaşılabilen ana sorunlar arasındadır. Bu kapsamda çalışmamızda, YYY yönelik bir Kurumsal Mimari (KM) geliştirilmiş, ontolojik yöntemlerle test ve değerlendirilmiştir. Tasarım Bilimi Araştırma Yöntemi doğrultusunda yürütülen araştırmanın ana bileşenleri ve teorik temellerini YYY, Model Güdümlü Mimari, Kurumsal Mimari ve Ontoloji bilgi alanları oluşturmuştur. Çalışmanın yazılım mühendisliği alanına olan katkılarını, (a) YYY sürecine KM ile bütüncül yaklaşılması ile (b) KM ve YYY süreçlerinin anlamsal yapılarının ontolojik yöntemlerle iyileştirilmesi olarak göstermek mümkündür. İlk izlenimlerimiz, geliştirilen KM’nin değişik soyutlama düzeylerindeki YYY problemlerine farklı bakış açılarını kazandırarak yazılımla ilgili paydaşların görüş ve ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabileceği yönündedir.
AN ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE FOR SOFTWARE RE‐ENGINEERING: A MODEL‐DRIVEN AND ONTOLOGY‐BASED APPROACH
Reusability, semantic communication, interoperability may be the major problems during Software Re-engineering (SRE) projects. In this study, therefore, we design and develop a SRE Enterprise Architecture (EA) and evaluate it using ontological methods and techniques. The study is conducted according to the guidelines and principles of Design Science Research Method. The SRE, Model-Driven Architecture and Ontology knowledge domains formed the theoretical foundations of our research. The contributions of the study to Software Engineering Research Domain could be (a) the holistic and enterprise architectural approach adopted for SRE and (b) improving the sematic architecture of SRE processes using ontological evaluation methods and techniques. Our first impression is as it can provide different views to SRE issues at various abstraction levels while it can represent the requirements of various stakeholders in a SRE project.
