This chapter discusses the current state of the art, and emerging research challenges, for
metamodelling. In the state-of-the-art review on metamodelling, we review approaches …

Develo** software from models is a growing practice and there exist many model-based
tools (eg, editors, interpreters, debuggers, and simulators) for supporting model-driven …

Graphs are important structures in mathematics, computer science and several other
research and application areas. The concepts of graph transformation and graph grammars …

The crucial point in Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is that software and system
development are based on abstract models that are successively transformed into more …

Visual languages (VLs) play a central role in modelling various system aspects. Besides
standard languages like UML, a variety of domain-specific languages exist which are the …

This paper presents a framework for the definition of visual notations (both syntax and
semantics) based on meta-modelling and graph transformation. With meta-modelling it is …

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

Abstract Model transformations are used in model-driven development for mechanizing the
interoperability and integration among modeling languages. Due to the graph-theoretic …

Nowadays, UML is considered to be the standardized language for object-oriented
modeling and analysis. However, UML cannot be used for automatic analyses and …

CONTEXT: Model transformations play a key role in any software development project
based on Model-Driven Engineering principles. However, despite the inherent complexity of …
