PEREZ LOVELLE, Sonia et al. A Proposal to Incorporate More Semantics from Models into Generated Code. Polibits [online]. 2014, n.49, pp.47-50. ISSN 1870-9044.

Currently, there is a widely used paradigm called Model Driven Architecture (MDA) for code generation from models, because this ensures shorter development times. The models created from the diagrams of Unified Modeling Language (UML) are widely used, considering that it is standard and a large number of modeling tools exists for it. Each UML diagram is a different view of the modeled system, but each of them has its syntax and semantics and each of these elements provides information for the resulting code. These diagrams are exchanged between different tools using XMI files (XML Metadata Interchange). XMI is a standard; however, not all modeling tools have options to import / export to this format and they do not allow full interoperability between tools, because they use their own structures. This paper addresses the semantics of class diagram and how it is reflected in the code generated by the AndroMDA tool, specifying the aspects for improvement based on the semantics of UML through modification of their cartridges.

Keywords : AndroMDA; class diagram; MDA; UML semantics; XMI.
