1st International Workshop on Non-functional System Properties in Domain Specific Modeling Languages
Overview
For the engineering of systems of a particular domain, Domain Specific
Modeling Languages (DSML) - domain-oriented modeling languages
developed for solving specific classes of problems related to such a
domain - are becoming a common-place in software and system
engineering. While DSML are mostly dedicated to functional
requirements, often they do not address non-functional system
properties (e.g. availability, reliability, security,performance,
timeliness, efficiency=85). Non-functional system properties are
recognized as at least as important as functional properties and have
to be addressed during the design of systems. Non-functional
properties of interest vary from domain to domain. Furthermore, there
is different understanding of what are non-functional, and functional
properties from domain to domain (e.g. timing and reliability
properties are considered functional inthe domain of embedded systems,
and that is not the case in information systems). Finally, because of
different relations, intrinsic-when one non-functional attribute
affects another, or extrinsic-when a value of a non-functional
property is behaving in opposingway to value of another, analysis of
non-functional properties can be single and multi-dimensional.
