Popis
Shrnutí:A classification scheme for Graph-Like Modeling Languages (GLML) is presented in this paper. The novelty of this classifier lies in its application to a meta-model for GLML that deviates from the simple graph model and underlies a large number of GLML. The main goal of using this classification scheme is to support the reuse of layout algorithms for GLML. GLML are used directly or indirectly for the development of software by model-based software engineering techniques. In other domains, graph-like models are artifacts (e.g., circuit diagrams, energy flow diagrams) that serve as input for downstream specialized applications (simulators, optimizers). The concrete syntax of a language for creating, editing, and understanding models is highly important for the development of modeling tools. Layout methods for the used languages have to be implemented to achieve software tools with good usability. Developing layout algorithms is a complex topic that is covered by the specialized field of Graph Drawing. However, there is no existing procedure to determine which layout algorithm can be used for a GLML. Matching layout algorithms to GLML can be achieved by applying the presented classification scheme.
