The Eclipse platform has played a very significant role in the evolution of software engineering research over the last few years as it has provided mature infrastructure for the development of orthogonal but interoperable prototypes in areas including ...

Inadequate version control has been identified as a major obstacle to the application of model-driven software engineering. In particular, sophisticated support for merging model versions is urgently needed. We present a tool for merging of EMF models ...

UML modeling environments for doing model-based testing are often not very comfortable to use and burden some knowledge about the internals of UML to the users, respectively test engineers. Test engineers, however, are seldom experts in UML, thus, the ...

During the last years, the area of Service Science Management and Engineering (SSME) is one of those fields that have benefit from the advantages brought by Model-Driven Engineering in terms of leveraging the abstraction level at which software is ...

In many domains, models are created based on predefined metamodels which abstract the structure of the domain in question. However, there are specific domains, like Enterprise Architecture (EA) projects, where a metamodel cannot be defined in advance to ...

In our work, we promote a new discipline for secure and dependable system engineering using a pattern as its first class citizen: Pattern-Based System Engineering (PBSE). Therefore, PBSE addresses two kind of processes: the one of pattern development ...

This paper presents a tool called MTC Flow, which allows model-driven developers to design, develop, test and deploy Model Transformation Chains (MTCs). The tool offers a graphical DSL for defining MTC workflow models independently of the technologies ...
