MAMBA Feature Overview

General Concepts

• NamedMeasurements can be provided through MambaMeasurementProviders
• CollectiveMambaMeasure can be used to provide various statistical functions
• It is possible to request measures or characteristics by name
• Only one library can be used
• Refinements and equivalence between measures are not considered
• Only OCL operations are supported
• Hierarchy for characteristics is not supported
• RescaledMeasure not supported since formula is of type string
• BinaryMeasure supports only "divide" function
• Relationships between measurements are not supported
• ObservationScope is unsupported
• Categories are not supported
• PeriodicMeasures are currently unsupported

Core Classes

Extensions

Attribute

IGNORED (but will also be serialized)

Annotation

IGNORED (but will also be serialized)

Measures

Characteristic

• name: characteristics can be requested by name which means more precisely the measure whose trait is the characteristic and which is not base measure for any other measure
• parent: unsupported

Scope

• recognizer is supported
• class must be of type EClass
• breakCondition is unsupported

Measure (abstract)

• name: measures can be requested by name
• scope: required
• trait: ???
• everything else is unsupported

Other Measures

NamedMeasure

Can be used in the context of measurement providers

• name: needed format: <name of measurement provider>:<name of measure>
