A practical approach to multi-modeling views composition
(2024) Andrés Yie; Rubby Casallas; Dirk Deridder; Dennis Wagelaar
The use of several view models to specify a complex system is a common practice to provide the most appropriate abstractions to model its diverse concerns. When several view models are used to specify a system, it is necessary to compose them to generate the application. When the view models are expressed in different Domain Specific Modeling Languages a problem arises because a heterogeneous composition is required. A possible approach to avoid a heterogeneous composition is to transform the diverse models into low-level models using a common low-level modeling language as target. Therefore, when all the view models are transformed in low-level models specified with a common language, it is possible to apply a ho- mogeneous composition to obtain the final application. However, it is necessary to identify the elements to compose in the low-level. In this paper, we present an auto- matic mechanism to identify which elements will be composed. This mechanism is based on defining correspondence relationships between the high-level view mod- els and automatically deriving new correspondence between the generated low-level models.

Multi-step Concern Refinement
(Vrije Universiteit Brussel, 2008) Andrés Yie; Rubby Casallas; Dirk Deridder; Ragnhild Van Der Straeten
A Model-Driven Software Product Line (MD-SPL) uses metamodels, models, and transformations to create a family of products using a Model Refinement Line (MRL). However, an MD-SPL must evolve and provide mechanisms to add new crosscutting concerns, such as security or logging, to the applications. Our problem is that we want to preserve and reuse the original MRL. In this paper, we present the challenges associated with this problem. We illustrate them by evaluating different model-driven approaches to add crosscutting concerns into an application using high-level aspects. Furthermore, we propose an approach to add crosscutting concerns as early aspects and to preserve the original MRL. This approach adds a new MRL that refines a high-level model of the concern. This high-level model is related with the high-level application model in the original MRL. The refinement of the application model and the concern model proceeds in parallel. The presented approach is a work in progress and requires us to tackle several challenges in order to implement and validate the proposal.
