text: The idea of a combined reference model- and view-based specification approach
has been proposed recently in the software engineering community. In this paper
we present a specification technique based on graph transformations which supports
such a development approach. The use of graphs and graph transformations allows
to satisfy the general requirements of an intuitive understanding and the integration
of static and dynamic aspects on a well-defined and sound semantical base. On
this background, formal notions of view and view relation are developed and the
behaviour of views is described by a loose semantics. View relations are shown
to preserve the behaviour of views. Moreover, we define a construction for the
automatic integration of views which assumes that the dependencies between different
views are described by a reference model. The views and the reference model are
kept consistent manually, which is the task of a model manager. In case of more
than two views more general scenarios are developed and discussed. We are able
to show that the automatic view integration is compatible with the loose semantics,
i.e., the behaviour of the system model is exactly the integration of the behaviours
of the views. All concepts and results are illustrated at the well-known example
of a banking system.
