Model-driven software development (MDSD) techniques have evolved vastly over the recent decades. MDSD aims to raise the abstraction level, allowing developers to produce accurate designs which are also easier to verify. The focus of this research is on developing methods in MDSD that can be utilized in software development. In the scope of this research, we first present a method for enriching the UML connectors with behavioral specifications for the exogenous coordination of the components. The aim is to free the components from the coordination responsibility, increasing their reusability. Second, we present an efficient, lightweight approach for the realization of the UML ports in object-oriented programming languages. The approach results in improved runtime performance and a significant decrease in code size. The first approach is validated using example connectors and cases from real-life large-scale avionics software. The second approach has been field-tested in actual flying avionics software for the last six years and has been proven to be successful.

Enhancing UML Connectors with Behavioral ALF Specifications for Exogenous Coordination of Software Components
Kocatas, Alper Tolga; Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2023-1-01)
Connectors are powerful architectural elements that allow the specification of interactions between software components. Since the connectors do not include behavior in UML, the components include the behavior for coordinating the components, complicating the designs of components and decreasing their reusability. In this study, we propose the enrichment of UML connectors with behavioral specifications. The goal is to provide separation of concerns for the components so that they are freed from coordination...
Agile Maturity Self-Assessment Surveys: A Case Study
Yürüm, Ozan Raşit; Demirörs, Onur (2017-09-01)
Agile software development methodologies have been widely adopted by the software industry during the last decade. Agility assessment is an approach to measure the success of this adoption as well as to satisfy the further demands. In response, a number of agile maturity self-assessment surveys have been developed. However, software organizations do not widely utilize existing self-assessment surveys. In this study we aim to identify the existing surveys and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in agilit...
Evaluation of Agility Assessment Tools: A Multiple Case Study
Adali, Onat Ege; Özcan Top, Özden; Demirors, Onur (2016-06-10)
Agile software development has been one of the most important paradigms of software engineering community. Agile methods that are shaped around Agile Manifesto and principles, provide promising results when applied properly in software organizations. Agile assessment models and tools have potential to indicate agile adoption problems at project level or organization level. In the scope of this study, we identified 37 agility assessment tools. Among those tools, we evaluated 11 agility assessment tools based...
Assessment of Agility in Software Organizations with a Web-Based Agility Assessment Tool
Adali, Onat Ege; Özcan Top, Özden; Demirors, Onur (2017-09-01)
Agile software development approaches have emerged to overcome the inherent challenges of the traditional software development methodologies. With that in mind, they offer a set of simple yet effective practices based on the values and supporting principles of the Agile Manifesto. Today, more and more organizations are practicing Agile but transitioning to Agile is not as straightforward as it might seem. The benefits afforded by the agile values, principles and practices are not fully obtained and adapters...
Characterizing the development and usage of diagrams in embedded software systems
Akdur, Deniz; Demirörs, Onur; Garousi, Vahid (2017-09-01)
To cope with growing complexity of embedded software, modeling has become popular. The usage of models in embedded software industry and the relevant practices usually vary since the purposes of diagram development and usage differ. Since a large variety of software modeling practices used in embedded software industry, it is important to understand its state-of-the-practice and its usage degree while investigating the relations between its attributes (e.g., modeling rigor, purpose, code correspondence, sta...
