MDA tool for automating telecom service functional design
Résumé
Telecom service development process followed at Orange consists of a sequence of interrelated tasks. We present an MDA tool which first describes this process using SPEM 2.0 compatible graphical editor, and then associates a model to each defined task for its execution. These models are validated automatically for the conformance to functional rules embedded inside the tool. Task automation is achieved using MDA model transformations, which use Orange knowledge model as the basis to extract the existing reusable functional components and their interdependencies. The graphical editor and model transformation are integrated together in an eclipse environment. Finally, the validated functional design model is transformed towards a UML2 profile, so as the telecom architect can manipulate it in an environment he is familiar with.
