An Extensive Catalog of Operators for the Coupled Evolution of Metamodels and Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modeling languages and thus their metamodels are subject to change. When a metamodel is evolved, existing models may no longer conform to it. Manual migration of these models in response to metamodel evolution is tedious and error-prone. To significantly automate model migration, operator-based approaches provide reusable coupled operators that encapsulate both metamodel evolution and model migration. The success of an operator-based approach highly depends on the library of reusable coupled operators it provides. In this paper, we thus present an extensive catalog of coupled operators that is based both on a literature survey as well as real-life case studies. The catalog is organized according to a number of criteria to ease assessing the impact on models as well as selecting the right operator for a metamodel change at hand.

Dealing with the Coupled Evolution of Metamodels and Model-to-text Transformations
In Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) the modification of a metamodel typically can invalidate many different sorts of artifacts. In order to mitigate the pragmatic consequences of such problem, several coupled evolution techniques have been introduced over the last few years mainly focussing on restoring the validity of models, transformations, and editors. However, none of the proposed techniques...

متن کاملCOPE - Automating Coupled Evolution of Metamodels and Models
Model-based development promises to increase productivity by offering modeling languages tailored to a specific domain. Such modeling languages are typically defined by a metamodel. In response to changing requirements and technological progress, the domains and thus the metamodels are subject to change. Manually migrating existing models to a new version of their metamodel is tedious and error...
متن کاملCOPE: Coupled Evolution of Metamodels and Models for the Eclipse Modeling Framework
In consequence of changing requirements and technological progress, metamodels are subject to change. Manually migrating models to a new version of their corresponding metamodel is costly, tedious and error-prone. The coupled evolution of a metamodel and its models is a sequence of metamodel changes and their corresponding model migrations. These coupled changes are either metamodelspecific or ...
