MODELING THE VARIABILITY WITH UML FOR TRIZ BASED CAI SYSTEM

摘要

Going with the inventive knowledge applied broadly in different science fields, special Computer Aided Invention(CAI) software product customized for different science fields should be developed with low cost and short time. In order to minimize the number of unexpected adaptations and features within application engineering projects, variability is analyzed not only for current requirements but also for future requirements. Based on analyzing CAI software domain, the development trend of CAI family products is predicted, and the variability of this domain is modeled with extended UML in this paper. The feature-based object-oriented domain analysis approach is adopted to model the variability of CAI family products.
