  • Technical, Organisational and Social Aspects of Language Integration for Complex Systems
    Putting the Pieces Together { Technical, Organisational and Social Aspects of Language Integration for Complex Systems H˚akan Burden Computer Science and Engineering Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg Gothenburg, Sweden [email protected] Abstract. Dealing with heterogenuous systems is often described as a technical challenge in scientific publications. We analysed data from 25 interviews from a study of Model-Driven Engineering at three companies and found that while the technical aspects are important, they do not encompass the full challenge { organizational and social factors also play an important role in managing heterogenuous systems. This is true not only for the development phase but also for enabling early validation of interdependent systems, where processes and attitudes have an impact on the outcome of the integration. Keywords: Empirical and Exploratory Case Study, Model-Driven Engineering 1 Introduction Complex systems, consisting of numerous and interdependent subsystems [15], require a plethora of languages for efficient implementation [7]. From the as- pect of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), the challenges are often described in technical terms [4] since heterogenuous languages imply different abstraction levels, representations and aspects of software [8], but also since the languages have their own domain-specific and platform-dependent constraints [11]. The one-sided focus on technical aspects is surprising since Kent already in 2002 pointed out that if MDE is to be successful it needs to encompass also the or- ganisational and social aspects of software engineering [10], a claim that has since been reiterated [1, 9]. To explore to what extent language integration for comlex systems is a chal- lenge in terms of technical, organisational and social aspects we analysed data collected at three different companies, looking for evidence regarding the mo- tivations and challenges of heterogenuous development of embedded systems.
