Metamodelling has become a crucial technique to handle the complexity issues in the
software development industry. This paper critically reviews and systematically classifies the …

For ensuring a software system's security, it is vital to keep up with changing security
precautions, attacks, and mitigations. Although model-based development enables …

Modelling languages are essential in many disciplines to express knowledge in a precise
way. Furthermore, some domains require families of notations (rather than individual …

Software engineering uses models throughout most phases of the development process.
Models are defined using modelling languages. To make these languages applicable to a …

Model-driven engineering (MDE) considers the systematic use of models in software
development. A model must be specified through a well-defined modeling language with …

Abstract Model transformations are essential elements of model-driven engineering (MDE)
solutions, as they enable the automatic manipulation of models. MDE promotes the creation …

Software product lines continuously undergo model transformations, such as refactorings,
refinements, and translations. In product line transformations, the dedicated management of …

Non-determinism in a concurrent or distributed setting may lead to many different runs or
executions of a program. This paper presents a method to reproduce a specific run for non …

Over recent years, self-adaptation has become a concern for many software systems that
have to operate in complex and changing environments. At the core of self-adaptation, there …

Model transformations enable automation in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) and are key
to its success. The emphasis of MDE on using domain-specific languages has caused a …
