This paper reviews the development of Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSE) from its
origins to the present day. The paper discusses the components of models, modelling …

Abstract Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) refers to the systematic use of models as first
class entities throughout the software development life cycle. Over the last few years, many …

Abstract Conventional wisdom on Model-Driven Engineering suggests that metamodels are
crucial elements for modeling environments consisting of graphical editors, transformations …

Model-Driven Engineering provides an abstract representation of systems through the use of
models and views. For complex systems, however, finding a single model and a single view …

Manual classification methods of metamodel repositories require highly trained personnel
and the results are usually influenced by the subjectivity of human perception. Therefore …

The development of mechatronic products involves multiple stakeholders which have
different viewpoints and therefore use different concepts, models and tools to deal with their …

Modeling is a ubiquitous activity in the process of software development. In recent years,
such an activity has reached a high degree of intricacy, guided by the heterogeneity of the …

Fragmentation of information across instances of different metamodels poses a significant
problem for software developers and leads to a major increase in effort of transformation …

Abstract Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are complex physical systems interacting with a
considerable number of distributed computing elements for monitoring, control and …

Over the last years, several model repositories have been proposed in response to the need
of the MDE community for advanced systems supporting the reuse of modeling artifacts …
