Automated model generation can be highly beneficial for various application scenarios
including software tool certification, validation of cyber-physical systems or benchmarking …

Abstract Model Driven Engineering promotes the use of models as the main artifacts in
software and system development. Verification and validation of models are key activities to …

Class Diagrams (CDs) model data structures in object-oriented systems and evolve
throughout the course of the development process. Analyzing the semantic differences …

Only four decades after the first manned flight to the moon, a common device such as a
smartphone consists of more complex technology than the “high-end” computers that …

We present AlloyInEcore, a tool for specifying metamodels with their static semantics to
facilitate automated, formal reasoning on models. Software development projects require …

Model building is at the heart of system design. This is true in many engineering disciplines
and is increasingly the case in software engineering. Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a …

Utilizing all the methods introduced in the previous chapters allows for automatically
conducting various validation and verification tasks using the UML/OCL model of the system …

In this chapter, we present a symbolic formulation representing all system states of a given
UML/OCL model. We thereby do not only consider the usually assumed 2-valued logic, but …
