6. Requirements and Design
www.kybele.urjc.es
1. Three panels to show separately the source models, the trace model and the target models. If there are
several source and/or target models, they should be located vertically in their corresponding panel.
2. The user should be able to drag elements from source and target models and drop them on the trace
model to establish new relationships.
3. If the user selects a trace-link object, the editor should highlight automatically the elements referenced
by the selected link (in their corresponding model).
4. If the user select a source/target object, the editor should highlight the trace-links that reference it.
Source Models Traces Model Target Models
Model S1:
-Element1
Model T1:
-… -Element1
- TraceLink_e1-e1 -…
-ElementN -FROM: e1:S1 -ElementN
Model S2: -TO: e1:T1
-Element1 - TraceLink_e2,e2-e2
-Element2 -FROM: e2:S2 Model T2:
- … -FROM: e2:S3 -Element1
-ElementN -TO: e2:T2 -Element2

Model S3: -ElementN

13. Conclusion

• MDE requires Modelling Tools
• EMF provides tree-based
generic editors
• EMF editors can be refined
to produce new specific
EMF-based artefacts
