Model-driven Engineering IDE for Quality Assessment of Data-intensive Applications

摘要

This article introduces a model-driven engineering (MDE) integrateddevelopment environment (IDE) for Data-Intensive Cloud Applications (DIA) withiterative quality enhancements. As part of the H2020 DICE project (ICT-9-2014,id 644869), a framework is being constructed and it is composed of a set oftools developed to support a new MDE methodology. One of these tools is the IDEwhich acts as the front-end of the methodology and plays a pivotal role inintegrating the other tools of the framework. The IDE enables designers toproduce from the architectural structure of the general application along withtheir properties and QoS/QoD annotations up to the deployment model.Administrators, quality assurance engineers or software architects may also runand examine the output of the design and analysis tools in addition to thedesigner in order to assess the DIA quality in an iterative process.
