 			This use case shows how to map the overlapping concepts of different views of a complex system.
 			It uses a framework that deals with System Architecture (SA) called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DODAF">DoDAF</a>
 			(Department of Defense Architecture Framework).

 		<a name="overview">Overview</a></h4>

 		<p align="justify">

 			 A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_architecture">System Architecture</a> is the set of relations between the parts of a system.
 			 DoDAF is a framework of development of System Architecture developed by the department of defense.
 			 <p/>
 			 A system can be decomposed into different views. Each view provides a perspective of the system with respect of a set of aspects
 			 and interests. There are different relationships between the concepts of these views. For example, the traceability matrix is a view
 			 that captures the relationships between two views, OV-5 and SV-4. OV-5 is an operational view, and SV-4 is a system view.
 			 The traceability matrix is defined as a subset of another system view, called SV-5.
 			 <p/>
 			 <ul>
 			 <li>
 			In this use case, we present how weaving models and model transformations are used to automate the process of defining the SV-5 view.
 			The two views are first translated into SV-5, and then this view is used to produce a traceability matrix between SV-4 and OV-5.<p/>
 			 </li>
 			 </ul>
 			 The first steps is to create these three views as KM3 metamodels
 			 (<a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.gmt/AM3/org.eclipse.am3.zoos.atlantic/DoDAF-SV4.km3?root=Technology_Project&view=markup">SV-4</a>,
 			 <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.gmt/AM3/org.eclipse.am3.zoos.atlantic/DoDAF-OV5.km3?root=Technology_Project&view=markup">OV-5</a> and
 			 <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.gmt/AM3/org.eclipse.am3.zoos.atlantic/DoDAF-SV5.km3?root=Technology_Project&view=markup">SV-5</a>).

 			A weaving model is used to capture the overlapping concepts between these views (see figure below). We create two weaving models, one between OV-5 and SV-5,
 			and other between SV-4 and SV5.
 		 	<p align="center">
 		  		<img src="../resources/sysofsys_overview.png"/>
 	  			<br /><br />
 				<b>Weaving models between DoDAF views</b>
 			</p>
 			The views are composed by an average of 100 elements. So we automate the process of creating weaving models by executing a set of matching
 			transformations (see the <a href="../matching/">matching use case</a>).	This process avoids developing these weaving models manually.

 			The matching transformations are executed following a set of rules:
 			<ul>
 			<li>
 				only the elements with the same type are compared (a typed cartesian product) to create an initial weaving model.
 			</li>
 			<li>
 				a weaving link is created between elements with the same type and name.
 			</li>
 			<li>
 				only the weaving links with a similarity value set to one (1) are considered equivalent (i.e., the concepts overlap).
 			</li>
 			<li>
 				a weaving link is child of another one if it relates 2 Structural Features and if the 2 SFs are contained symmetrically by
 				Classes linked by the parent equivalence link.
 			</li>
 			<li>
 				a link is child of another one if it relates 2 Classes and if the 2 Classes inherits symmetrically of 2 Classes
 				linked by the parent equivalence link.
 			</li>
 			</ul>
 			The screenshot below shows a weaving model between views OV-5 and SV-5. We select an equality link between the <i>Task</i> elements of each view.

 		 	<p align="center">
 		  		<img src="../resources/amw_ov5_sv5.png"/>
 	  			<br /><br />
 				<b>Weaving between views OV-5 and SV-5</b>
 			</p>
 			<p/>
 			The weaving models are used to generate two ATL transformations, one that translates the SV-4 view into the SV-5 view, and another that
 			translates the OV-5 view into the SV-5 view, as shown below. A higher-order transformation takes the weaving model, the OV-5 and SV-5 metamodels
 			as input, and it produces an ATL transformation as output (OV-5_2_SV-5). This transformation translates OV-5 models into SV-5 models.
 			After the two views (OV-5 and SV-4) are simultaneously transformed into an SV-5 view, the SV-5 is used to produce a traceability matrix.
