Abstract

Modelling transparency is introduced as the functionality of CASE tools that supports relating diagrams to each other. Efficient transfer between the various diagram editors in CASE tools is needed for the highly inter-related diagrams of complex applications. Sequential dependency and parallel dependency of diagrams in systems development products are discussed. A scale of four degrees of modelling transparency is introduced to position the modelling transparency implemented in a particular CASE tool. The meta-model of the repository and an editor transfer chart are proposed to specify the modelling transparency in CASE tools.
