Model Weaving Support for Migrating Software Artifacts from AUTOSAR 2.0 to AUTOSAR 2.x

摘要

At a recent meeting, the TNI-Software Company presented the following problem: "An organization has developed a huge quantity of software artifacts conforming to the AUTOSAR 2.0 standard. They wish to migrate these to a new version of the AUTOSAR standard. Which is the best way to proceed in order to automate this migration?". This article presents one solution to this problem using tools from the Eclipse Modeling Project. One of them is the ATL transformation language from the M2M project. The second one is the AMW model weaving tool from the GMT project. The solution provided is quite generic and it can be used to assist in the migration of different versions of software systems. This migration is particularly important because these operations are more and more frequent and error prone. They have lost their exceptional status to become part of the usual day-to- day software maintenance process. Furthermore their boring and repetitive characteristics make them ideal candidates for automation.
