VISUAL SOFTWARE MODELING METHOD TO CONSTRUCT SOFTWARE VIEWS BASED ON A SOFTWARE META VIEW

摘要

A visual software modeling method based on a software meta view for constructing software meta models. After determining basic components of the software meta view, the present invention constructs software views through the software hierarchy view, the software interface views, the software interaction views, the software algorithm view, the software process view, and the software transfer view as step features and thereby provides a specification for visual software modeling activities in various fields; such specification has advantages including generality and convenience; the software views constructed through the present invention is executable, has a clear structure, adjustable hierarchies, and controllable granularities for modeling; this method supports both top-down analysis and bottom-up integration for modeling in various software modeling; the modeling method is simple and full visual, thereby even those not skilled in any modeling language nor computer programming language can easily and independently construct the software view, eliminating the tedious and unnecessary communication with and dependence on professional modelers and application developers, greatly reducing modeling time.
