Software Architecture Matching Based On Similarity Flooding Algorithm

Résumé: The increase of the development process of complex software system leads to make the research and the practice for Model Driven Engineering (MDE) progressed over the last decade, the model driven architecture (MDA) defined at the OMG (Object Management Group),"Software Factories" proposed by Microsoft and the Eclipse Modeling Framework, are appears to raise the level of abstraction using models as information storage. Nowadays, the great number of metamodels and models leads to use MDE in various domains and make deferent models similar for the same application, the problem here is how to get similarities between these formalism or formalism instances? In this paper, we propose an approach that can detect the mapping between two architectures by making model transformation using transformation language from architectures as input to a directed labeled graph as output, our approach is based on similarity flooding algorithm used in the fields of schema matching and ontology alignment.
