       Modeling the Linguistic Architecture of Software Products

Abstract: Understanding modern software products is challenging along
several dimensions. In the past, much attention has been focused on the
logical and physical architecture of the products in terms of the relevant
components, features, files and tools. In contrast, in this talk, we
focus on the linguistic architecture of software products in terms of the
involved software languages and related technologies, and technological
spaces with linguistic relationships such as membership, subset, or
conformance. We develop a designated form of megamodeling with
corresponding language and tool support. An important capability of the
megamodeling approach is that entities and relationships of the megamodel
are linked to illustrative software artifacts. This is particularly
important during the understanding process for validation purposes. We
demonstrate such megamodeling for a technology for Object/XML mapping.
This work contributes to the 101companies community project.
