项目摘要

1)Technique to generate from meta models repositories having version control functions.We developed a technique to generate repositories and CASE tools from meta model descriptions of software diagrams like UML. The generated repository and the tool can have version control mechanism where logical units of the meta model are atomic elements of change management. The differences (called deltas) between adjacent versions are extracted and stored into the repository. In addition, we developed a technique of configuration management for keeping consistency when integrating and modifying different types of model fragments as parts of a requirements specification. In this technique, we specify the constraints on meta models for keeping and detecting inconsistency from operational records of deltas.2)Technique to provide semantics for requirements using ontology and a requirements elicitation method as its application.Semantic analysis of specification documents is necessary to analyze record … More s of changes of requirements. In this approach, we employed a technique of lightweight semantics processing using ontology. The descriptions of requirements are mapped into ontological elements and inferences to deduce the properties of the descriptions are possible on the ontological system. We also developed a requirements elicitation method and its supporting tool where guidance to suggest missing requirements and inconsistent parts is provided to users.3)Techniques to extract and analyze differences of specifications, and to abstract them into patterns.Based on the research results of the above 1) and 2), we developed a supporting tool to extract the deltas of requirements changes that are mapped to the ontology and to semantically classify them into categories. The large frequency of the deltas belonging to a certain semantic category allowed us to compose evolution patterns so as to anticipate future changes. By collecting real change records, for example, we found a pattern where functional requirements were modified and subsequently their non-functional ones were modified. Furthermore, we developed a technique to classify the deltas leading to inconsistent or to missing requirements and constructed an automated system to suggest their candidates out of a requirements document.

1）从具有版本控制功能的元模型存储库中生成的技术。我们开发了一种从UML等软件图的元模型描述中生成存储库和案例工具的技术。生成的存储库和工具可以具有版本控制机制，其中元模型的逻辑单元是变更管理的原子元素。相邻版本之间的差异（称为deltas）被提取并存储到存储库中。此外，我们开发了一种配置管理技术，以在集成和修改不同类型的模型片段作为需求规范的一部分时保持一致性。在此技术中，我们指定了元模型的约束，以保持和检测Deltas的操作记录的不一致性。2）技术以使用本体论和要求启发方法为要求提供语义，并将要求方法作为其应用。规范文档的语义分析对于分析记录是必要的……更多要求更改要求更改。在这种方法中，我们采用了一种使用本体论的轻巧语义处理技术。对要求的描述被映射到本体论元素和推论以推断描述的特性上。 We also developed a requirement elicitation method and its supporting tool where guidance to suggest missing requirements and inconsistent parts is provided to users.3)Techniques to extract and analyze differences of specifications, and to abstract them into patterns.Based on the research results of the above 1) and 2), we developed a supporting tool to extract the deltas of requirements changes that are mapped to the ontoology and to semantically classify them into categories.属于某个语义类别的三角洲的频率很大，使我们能够构成进化模式，从而预测未来的变化。例如，通过收集真实的更改记录，我们发现了一种修改功能要求并随后修改其非功能要求的模式。此外，我们开发了一种技术来对三角洲进行分类，导致不一致或错过要求，并构建了一个自动化系统，以建议他们的候选人退出要求文件。较少的
