ModelA model containing common features of several models whileignoring their differences. Abstract PlatformA platform that addresses common techniques, technologiesand patterns that exist within several platforms while ignoringtheir differences.PlatformA platform that addresses common techniques, technologiesand patterns that exist within several platforms while ignoringtheir differences.

APSMWhen upper case: the meta-model presented in Chapter 4,which is the main contribution of this thesis. Also, see SeeAbstract-Platform Specific Model. ApsmWhen lower case: an instance of APSM. ControllerA class that controls the behaviour of a use case. This classincludes operations required to respond to user steps of the usecase and direct them to proper services. High-Level InputAny visual model created using the language introduced inSection 4.8.
