Uma DSL Gráfica de Suporte para a Infraestrutura M4PIA

Abstract

The petrochemical industry scenario presents criticality in its processes, the traditional software development cannot efficiently guarantee the quality levels that this sector requires. The M4PIA infrastructure proved to be adequate in dealing with its domain problems by using MDE to support petrochemical industrial plants pre-configuration. However, its model was represented only by the EMF hierarchical tree. A study showed bottlenecks in stakeholders understanding, which results in process losses. By this motivation, we developed graphical representations to express the M4PIA model. As well, a modeling tool for this new language. We conducted a quasi-experiment research with the domain experts to evaluate the semantic transparency of the language elements. On average, its elements obtained results above 90% accuracy, Measure-F of 93% and Recall of 97%. Key-words: Graphical DSL. Modeling tool. M4PIA infrastructure. Petrochemical industry.
