More than a decade ago, the research topic models@ run. time was coined. Since then, the
research area has received increasing attention. Given the prolific results during these …

In the context of software development, models provide an abstract representation of a
software system or a part of it. In the software development process, they are primarily used …

Activity diagrams (ADs) have recently become widely used in the modeling of workflows,
business processes, and web-services, where they serve various purposes, from …

Adapting applications and user interfaces at runtime requires a deeper understanding of the
underlying design. Models formalize this design, express the underlying concepts and make …

Abstract Model-Driven Engineering is a development paradigm that uses models instead of
code as primary development artifacts. In this paper, we focus on executable models, which …

This paper presents Lotus@ Runtime, an extensible tool that uses models@ runtime to
monitor and verify self-adaptive systems. The tool monitors the execution traces generated …

The development of self-adaptive software requires the engineering of an adaptation engine
that controls the underlying adaptable software by a feedback loop. State-of-the-art …

Cloud services have to comply with privacy policies when storing or processing data. As
cloud services become increasingly data-intensive, eg, in the case of big data analytics, data …

Running test cases against a student's solution of a programming assignment is one of the
easiest ways to generate feedback. If black-box tests are used, students may have difficulties …

Abstract Model-driven engineering (MDE) is an iterative and incremental software
development process. Supporting the analysis and the verification of software systems …
