Abstract Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) places models as first-class artifacts throughout
the software lifecycle. In this context, model transformations are crucial for the success of …

With the emergence of model-driven engineering (MDE), software models are considered as
central artifacts in the software engineering process, going beyond their traditional use as …

Suitable software languages are crucial to tackling the ever-increasing complexity of
software engineering processes and software products. They model, specify, and test …

Abstract Domain-Specific Modeling Languages (DSMLs) are getting more and more
attention as a key element of Model Driven Engineering. As any other software artifact …

Software models are iteratively refined, restructured and evolved. The detection and
analysis of changes applied between two versions of a model are one of the most important …

The use of different domain-specific modeling languages and diverse versions of the same
modeling language often entails the need to translate models between the different …

Visual models help to understand complex systems. However, with the user interaction
paradigms established today, activities such as creating, maintaining or browsing visual …

As every software artifact, also software models are subject to continuous evolution. The
operations applied between two successive versions of a model are crucial for …

In model-based software development, models are primary artifacts which iteratively evolve
and which have many versions during their lifetime. A clear representation of the changes …

Model-driven engineering promotes models as main development artifacts. As several
models may be manipulated during the software-development life cycle, model …
