As Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is increasingly applied to larger and more complex
systems, the current generation of modelling and model management technologies are …

Motivation Scientists increasingly rely on intelligent information systems to help them in their
daily tasks, in particular for managing research objects, like publications or datasets. The …

The intensive use of models in model-driven engineering (MDE) raises the need to develop
meta-models with different aims, such as the construction of textual and visual modelling …

Abstract The adoption of Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) is regarded as an approach to
reduce the accidental complexity of software systems development. The availability of …

Abstract Domain-specific modelling languages are normally defined through general-
purpose meta-modelling languages like the MOF. While this is satisfactory for many model …

In enterprise modelling, we witness numerous efforts to predefine and integrate perspectives
and concepts for modelling some problem area, which result in standardised modelling …

Smart contracts are immutable digital programs deployed onto blockchain platforms to codify
agreements. They enable blockchain technology to play a vital role in many fields, such as …

We consider the problem of sending messages into the future, commonly known as timed
release cryptography. Existing schemes for this task either solve the relative time problem …

When software engineers collaborate, they frequently use whiteboards or paper for
sketching diagrams. This is fast and flexible, but the resulting diagrams cannot be …

Engineers commonly use paper and whiteboards to sketch and discuss ideas in early
phases of requirements elicitation and software modeling. These physical media foster …
