Resumo:
The central motivation of this research is to analyze how the main concepts of objectoriented
software specification methods from Rumbaugh, Coad/Yordon, Booch, Shlaer e
Mellor, e Wirfs-Brock, could be mapped into Concepts of Semantic Transfer Language.
The academic relevance and the available bibliographic resources were the reason for
the choice of these five object-oriented software specification methods. The method's
concepts were identified and classified according to the structural and behavioral aspects
emphasizing their static and dynamic modeling capabilities. These concepts were mapped into
concepts of the Semantic Transfer Language - STL. In this work, STL was considered as a
standardizing resourse for object-oriented software specification concepts instead of a
mechanism to provide communication between CASE tools.
The market need a communication standard for CASE tools. The IEEE Standard 1175
committee is working toward a semantic transfer language for semantic transfer information
between modules or components. The main contribution of this research is to analyze how
STL concepts support the five concepts of object-oriented software specification methods.
