Previous approaches have not correctly handled the semantic integration. We propose a complete approach for integrating of UML models. First, we provide a comparison approach incorporating syntactic, structural and semantic aspects in order to detect any correspondence between the models to compare, and secondly, a semantic approach to integrate the compared models. For this purpose, we use domain ontology. In this paper, our contribution is the proposition of the different metamodels needed in the comparison and the integration phases.}, isbn = {978-1-4577-0966-1}, author = {Benabdellah Chaouni, Samia and Fredj, Mounia and Mouline, Salma}, editor = {Alhajj, R and Joshi, J and Shyu, ML} } @conference { ISI:000261359800058, title = {Variability Modeling for Business Component Customization}, booktitle = {2008 IEEE SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTERS AND COMMUNICATIONS, VOLS 1-3}, series = {IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications ISCC}, year = {2008}, note = {13th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications, Marrakech, MOROCCO, JUL 06-09, 2008}, pages = {370+}, publisher = {IEEE Comp Soc; IEEE; IEEE Commun Soc; hps; Ctr Natl Rech Sci \& Tech}, organization = {IEEE Comp Soc; IEEE; IEEE Commun Soc; hps; Ctr Natl Rech Sci \& Tech}, abstract = {Since a component-based information system has different requirements, components customization for various constraints is needed. Thus, the ability of reusable components to be varied and appropriate to different information systems requirements is a key property in reusable component development, especially in Business Component (BC) development. In this paper, a BC customization approach is presented. In order to do this, we focus on the variability concept, which is defined as the ability of a software artefact to be changed or customized to be reused in multiple contexts. Hence, the objective of this work is to specify business components with the consideration of commonality and variability in a business domain, in order to increase their reusability and applicability.}, isbn = {978-1-4244-2702-4}, issn = {1530-1346}, author = {Saidi, Rajaa and Fredj, Mounia and Mouline, Salma and Front, Agnes and Rieu, Dominique} } @conference { ISI:000250559700098, title = {Towards managing variability across business component development}, booktitle = {IRI 2007: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2007 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION REUSE AND INTEGRATION}, year = {2007}, note = {IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration (IRI-2007), Las Vegas, NV, AUG 13-15, 2007}, pages = {594+}, publisher = {IEEE; SMC Soc}, organization = {IEEE; SMC Soc}, abstract = {Reusing components, which are specifically set up to suit enterprises requirements, becomes a key element of their software engineering strategy. Consequently, the ability of reusable components to be varied and appropriate to different re-users requirements is a key property in reusable component development. From this need, the concept of variability has emerged. It is defined as the ability of a software artefact to be changed or customized to be used in multiple contexts. The objective of our research is to outline variability issues through reusable component development, and in particular, in the requirements phase of a Business Component (BC) development. The main ideas of this research are (a) to address variability issues through the requirements phase of a BC development and (b) to propose a metamodel to describe variability concepts that must be classified and designed to manage this variability.}, isbn = {978-1-4244-1499-4}, doi = {10.1109/IRI.2007.4296685}, author = {Saidil, Rajaa and Fredj, Mounia and Mouline, Salma and Front, Agnes and Rieu, Dominique}, editor = {Chang, W and Joshi, JBD} }
