    Link Prediction for Completing Graphical Software Models Using Neural Networks
    (IEEE, 2023) Leblebici, Onur; Tuğlular, Tuğkan; Belli, Fevzi
    Deficiencies and inconsistencies introduced during the modeling of software systems may result in high costs and negatively impact the quality of all developments performed using these models. Therefore, developing more accurate models will aid software architects in developing software systems that match and exceed expectations. This paper proposes a graph neural network (GNN) method for predicting missing connections, or links, in graphical models, which are widely employed in modeling software systems. The proposed method utilizes graphs as allegedly incomplete, primitive graphical models of the system under consideration (SUC) as input and proposes links between its elements through the following steps: (i) transform the models into graph-structured data and extract features from the nodes, (ii) train the GNN model, and (iii) evaluate the performance of the trained model. Two GNN models based on SEAL and DeepLinker are evaluated using three performance metrics, namely cross-entropy loss, area under curve, and accuracy. Event sequence graphs (ESGs) are used as an example of applying the approach to an event-based behavioral modeling technique. Examining the results of experiments conducted on various datasets and variations of GNN reveals that missing connections between events in an ESG can be predicted even with relatively small datasets generated from ESG models.

    A Domain-Specific Language for the Document-Based Model-Driven Engineering of Business Applications
    (IEEE, 2022) Leblebici, Onur; Kardaş, Geylani; Tuğlular, Tuğkan
    To facilitate the development of business applications, a domain-specific language (DSL), called DARC, is introduced in this paper. Business documents including the descriptions of the responsibilities, authorizations, and collaborations, are used as the first-class entities during model-driven engineering (MDE) with DARC. Hence the implementation of the business applications can be automatically achieved from the corresponding document models. The evaluation of using DARC DSL for the development of commercial business software was performed in an international sales, logistics, and service solution provider company. The results showed that the code for all business documents and more than 50% of the responsibility descriptions composing the business applications could be generated automatically by modeling with DARC. Finally, according to the users' feedback, the assessment clearly revealed the adoption of DARC features in terms of the DSL quality characteristics, namely functional suitability, usability, reliability, maintainability, productivity, extensibility, compatibility, and expressiveness.
