Abstract

A conceptual model compiler could be the next step in software engineering terms to achieve conceptual programming. In other words, the model is the code instead of the code is the model. This Ph.D. work faces directly this challenge. To make it feasible, we must answer two main research questions: How to integrate models developed by languages supported by ontologies with different ontological commitments? This will be a question solved by characterizing the ontological framework that determines the basic conceptual building units that ontology-driven conceptual models should include. Finally, what is the best approach for the integration process among those models? This will be a question solved by applying the results of the first research question to the OO-Method approach creating an ontologically well-supported method we call OntoOO-Method. The reported Ph.D. work is an advanced state because the ontology resulting from the first research question is almost complete, and now the author is facing the engineering problem of designing the OntoOO-Method approach.
