Abstract:
This article presents a new framework for solving different kinds of data mapping problems, the Generic Modular Mapping Framework (GEMMA), and the engineering process that lead to its development. GEMMA is geared towards high flexibility for dealing with a large number of different challenges. To this end it has an open architecture that allows the inclusion of application-specific code and provides a generic rule-based mapping engine that allows users without programming knowledge to define their own mapping rules. The paper provides the thought processes that were involved in the engineering of the framework, detailed description of the concepts inherent in the framework and its current architecture. Additionally, the evaluation of the framework in two different application cases, simulation model composition and test bench setup, is described.
