Electronic Control Units (ECUs), such as for automotive engine control, execute highly interdependent software units. These software units and their interaction are optimized for s...
Abstract—In model-driven engineering, structural models represent software at the early phases of software development. They are assumed to generate the models in subsequent phas...
—In cloud computing, modeling can be used to specify service topologies. Following a model-driven approach provisioning can be automated resulting in a significant reduction of ...
Abstract—Model transformations are helpful to evolve, refactor, refine and maintain models. While domain-specific languages are normally intuitive for modelers, common model tr...
Over the last decade multi-level modeling (MLM) approaches have been addressing the need for relaxing the strict constraints on intra- and interlayer type-instance relationships th...
—Feature models are frequently used to capture the knowledge about configurable software systems and product lines. However, feature modeling of large-scale systems is challengi...
Software tools are being used by experts in a variety of domains. There are numerous software modeling editor environments (MEs) tailored to a specific domain expertise. However, ...
—Analyzing legal policies for many laws, such as taxes and social benefits, is a common way for governments to identify risks, e.g., risk of legal policies not achieving expecte...
Cyber-physical systems react on events reported by sensors and interact with objects of the real world according to their current state and their view of the world. This view is na...
