Modeling languages, just as all software artifacts, evolve. This poses the risk that legacy
models of a company get lost, when they become incompatible with the new language …

In model-driven engineering, develo** a textual domain-specific language (DSL) involves
constructing a meta-model, which defines an underlying abstract syntax, and a grammar …

Abstract Model transformations are precious and effortful outcomes of Model-Driven
Engineering. As any other artifact, transformations are also subject to evolution forces. Not …

Smart ecosystems are the drivers of modern society. They control infrastructures of socio-
techno-economic importance, ensuring their stable and sustainable operation. Smart …

Harnessing metamodels to engineer application domains is at the core of Model-Driven
Engineering. A large number of artifacts pursuing a common scope are defined starting from …

When a language evolves, meta-models and associated gram-mars need to be co-evolved
to stay mutually consistent. Previous work has supported the automated migration of a …

Metamodels evolve even more frequently than programming languages. This evolution
process may result in a large number of instance models that are no longer conforming to …

Abstract Model-to-model transformations are often employed to establish translational
semantics of Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) by map** high-level models into more …

In model-driven engineering (MDE), metamodels and domain-specific languages are key
artifacts as they are used to define syntax and static semantics of domain models. However …

Evolution of metamodels can be represented at the finest grain by the trace of atomic
changes such as add, delete, and update of elements. For many applications, like automatic …
