Among model comprehension tools, model slicers are tools that extract a subset of model
elements, for a specific purpose. Model slicers provide a mechanism to isolate and focus on …

The null space-based LDA takes full advantage of the null space while the other methods
remove the null space. It proves to be optimal in performance. From the theoretical analysis …

As model-driven engineering (MDE) is increasingly adopted in complex industrial scenarios,
modeling artefacts become a key and strategic asset for companies. As such, any MDE …

Model-driven engineering is a methodology for software development that focuses on the
use of models in the software development process. These models can be transformed into …

In team environments, models are often shared and edited by multiple developers. To allow
modularity and facilitate developer independence, we consider the problem of splitting a …

Testers often use partial knowledge to build test models. This knowledge comes from
sources such as requirements, known faults, existing inputs, and execution traces. In Model …

Abstract Model-driven engineering proposes the use of models to describe the relevant
aspects of the system to be built and synthesize the final application from them. Models are …

The increased adoption of model-driven engineering (MDE) in complex industrial
environments highlights the value of a company's modeling artefacts. As such, any MDE …

Slicing is a widely used technique for supporting comprehension and assessing change
impact during software evolution activities. While there has been substantial research into …

The rising impact of software development in globally distributed teams strengthens the
need for strategies that establish a clear separation of concerns in software models. Dealing …
