The Objective of the Project is to create Reference Conceptual Model (an ontology) of a Domain of interest using the OntoUML language, evaluate this model, and eventually evolve this model as a result of this evaluation process. The projects will be carried out in groups of two students and students are free to chose the domain of their interest. The idea is to chose a domain of medium complexity, i.e., some problem that is not trivial but feasible within the time constraints of the course. Moreover, the domain should allow for exercising the different constructs of the modeling language.

The project will be delivered in the following tasks:

Task 0: Project proposal not graded, students get feedback on the feasibility of the project. Deadline: 13.05.2024. Click here to check format at submitting
Task 1: Developing an OntoUML model for a domain of interest chosen in Task 0 and approved by lecturers. Deadline: 07.06.2024.
Task 2: Evaluating and possibly rectifying the model produced in Task 1 in the following respects: (a) Performing automatic verification of the OntoUML produced and eliminating all possible errors detected; (b) identifying potential unintended interpretations (possibly with the support of Anti-Pattern detection); (c) propose a list of constraints that rectify the model by eliminating the unintended interpretations identified. Deadline: 17.06.2024.
Feedback on Assignments can be schedule with both teachers throughout the course.
