Abstract: Many user requirements and UML models are similar even if identical, but their application backgrounds are different. It is a straight and feasible way to mine those similar UML models for a model warehouse and reuse them so as to improve software development efficiency. The key point in the idea is to measure the similarity of UML models. We present a Level Edit Distance method to solve the problem. The LED measures similarity of XML structures instead of UML models. Indeed, UML models are converted to XML documents according to XMI so that UML model similarity equals to XML document similarity. However, our method concentrates on the pure structural similarity of UML models in XMI format, namely, the semantic information is ignored. The LED is different from the traditional Edit Distance. The former needs only one primitive operation whereas the later needs three. Our preparatory experimental results show that the LED can keep almost the same distance distribution with the traditio nal ED and is a little faster than the latter. We are going to improve the capability of the LED and combine it with a semantic-considered method in order to precisely evaluate the similarity of user requirements. (More)
