Discussion 1

"Meta-Modeling" Please respond to the following:

• A meta-model may be used to relate goal, object, agent, operation, and behavior models. Determine whether or not a system model that represents a meta-model could be functional without all five of the views defined. Provide a rationale. 

• Determine whether you would use UML class diagrams or another tool to describe meta-models. Support your position.

Discussion 2

"Goal-Oriented Modeling" Please respond to the following:

• Suppose someone made the claim, “There is no difference between modeling the system-as-is and the system-to-be”. Provide three reasons to support or refute this claim.

• From the e-Activity, provide your opinion as to whether the extension from the article makes it easier or harder to build models compared to using plain UML. Provide a rationale.
