%0 Conference Paper %1 Wiebusch:2012 %A Wiebusch, Dennis %A Latoschik, Marc Erich %B Software Engineering and Architectures for Realtime Interactive Systems (SEARIS), proceedings of the IEEE Virtual Reality 2012 workshop %D 2012 %K myown %T Enhanced Decoupling of Components in Intelligent Realtime Interactive Systems using Ontologies %X We introduce a technique to support decoupling in component-based, modular software architectures as a means to enhance non-functional requirements, i.e., to increase reusability, portability, and adaptability. The core idea utilizes a semantic description of interfaces and component interplay in the area of Intelligent Real-time Interactive Systems (IRIS). Semantic descriptions are encoded as OWL-based models, which build a Knowledge Representation Layer (KRL) of relevant interface constructs and component features. These models are automatically transformed into programming language code of a given target language. The result of that transformation forms a semantically grounded database of relevant system aspects that programmers can use to develop their application. Examples, taken from an application that was developed with the Simulator X framework, illustrate the different aspects of the proposed method and demonstrate its practicability.
