CO7207 Project: UML Modeling and Programming with EMF for IT Solutions

This document presents a comprehensive project on UML Modeling and Programming with EMF, focusing on the development of software models for a customer management system. The project begins with a system description, outlining the business, its stakeholders (manager, client, and consultant), business entities (sole proprietorship, corporation, and small business corporation), use cases (login, register, request submit, and approve request), and business activities. The behavioral model includes a use case diagram and an activity diagram. The structural model contains a class diagram, business constraints, and an object diagram. The project concludes with a model instance, including code examples to create and save an instance of the model. The project includes detailed diagrams and code to illustrate the concepts of UML modeling and EMF programming for an IT solution provider system. The document also includes a bibliography.

2UML MODELING AND PROGRAMMING WITH EMF
Task 1: System Description:
The main stakeholders to be considered while designing the system are manager, client
and consultant. The business entities are sole proprietorship, corporation and small business
corporation. The use cases are login, register, request submit, approve request and many more.
The activities of the business are listed below.
i. The IT Solution provides various IT related solutions to customers
ii. The customer has to submit a request first through their website
iii. The IT Solution will assign consultant one at a time to the request
iv. If the outcome is not satisfactory, the customer can request for another consultant
v. The customer needs to have an account to submit a request
vi. Each customer has a login id and password
vii. The request will have a status field which can store progressing, de-satisfied,
completed and rejected status
viii. The customer can pay the charge either by cash or card

3.b Business Constraints:
The business constraints are as following.
i. The organization will accept request of only registered customers
ii. One consultant will be assigned to one request
iii. A customer can have one active request
iv. Every user have to be registered into the system
Business Constraint OCL
One consultant will
be assigned to one
request
context Request inv: consultant->size() <= 1;
A customer can have
one active request
context Client inv: self.request->size()=1;

Task 4: Model Instance
Created a plugin project with name itSolution.instance.
Then the following dependencies are added to plugin.xml. org.eclipse.emf.ecore,
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi and itSolution.
The class for creating the instance is as following.
package de.vogella.emf.webpage.instance;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Map;
