Optimization problems in software engineering typically deal with structures as they occur in
the design and maintenance of software systems. In model-driven optimization (MDO) …

Where graphs are used for modelling and specifying systems, consistency is an important
concern. To be a valid model of a system, the graph structure must satisfy a number of …

Many model transformation scenarios require flexible execution strategies as they should
produce models with the highest possible quality. At the same time, transformation problems …

Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is a methodology that aims to simplify the process of
designing complex systems, by using models as an abstract representation of the underlying …

Recently, there has been increased interest in combining model-driven engineering and
search-based software engineering. Such approaches use meta-heuristic search guided by …

Abstract Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE) is about solving software development
problems by formulating them as optimization problems. In the last years, combining SBSE …

Legacy systems and their associated data models often evolve into large, monolithic
artifacts. This threatens comprehensibility and maintainability by human beings. Breaking …

Recently there has been increased interest in combining the fields of Model-Driven
Engineering (MDE) and Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE). Such approaches use …

Software engineers are frequently faced with tasks that can be expressed as optimization
problems. To support them with automation, search-based model-driven engineering …

Abstract Model transformations are an important cornerstone of model‐driven engineering, a
discipline which facilitates the abstraction of relevant information of a system as models. The …
