On the Scalability Criterion for Comparing Modeling Approaches

The Comparing Modeling Approaches (CMA) workshop series aims at providing a common relevant case study and a growing collection of criteria to compare different modeling approaches, from aspect-oriented to object-oriented and beyond. Among criteria to be defined and integrated, scalability is particularly relevant as the Model-Driven Engineering community identifies it as one of the main challenges ahead. In this paper, we make a first attempt at refining the scalability criterion for both approaches and their tool support, and we provide a first set of questions for this criterion.
