Description
Summary:In this research, a tool called EssenceBoard and Method Base Management System (MBMS) has been integrated. EssenceBoard and MBMS are two related tools that complement each other. EssenceBoard is responsible for creating and modifying method chunks, while MBMS is responsible for storing and managing method chunks. However, the existing EssenceBoard is unable to retrieve and modify method chunks stored in MBMS. Therefore, an integration between EssenceBoard and MBMS is needed to enable EssenceBoard to function as a method editor for MBMS. The integration is accomplished using a remote procedure invocation (RPI) approach, which was selected based on the analysis of integration criteria, including application coupling, integration simplicity, integration technology, data format, data timeliness, data or functionality, and asynchronicity. Additionally, a design has been made for the method chunk format exchanged between EssenceBoard and MBMS, referred to as the intermediate form of method chunks. The design is carried out by adding the visualization attribute to the intermediate form of method chunks. In EssenceBoard, a converter component is developed to transform the format of method chunks in EssenceBoard into an intermediate form of method chunks. An authenticator component is also developed in EssenceBoard to authenticate MBMS users. Through integration, EssenceBoard is now able to retrieve method chunks stored in MBMS, modify them, and save them back to MBMS. Based on the functional testing results, EssenceBoard and MBMS have been successfully integrated using the remote procedure invocation, allowing them to exchange method chunks with each other.
