Feature-oriented refinement of models, metamodels and model transformations

An analysis of user-interface creation complexity using a model-driven design approach

“…For this reason, it is necessary to trace changes, because templates and code can diverge too much from the original model. In contrast with [12], the authors point out that the need for tracing changes arises from the parallel modifications made to both the code and the model. This kind of change can have serious consequences if the designed interface is too complex, which can lead to questioning its utility, because in other proposals it is not necessary to modify the code in such a direct and specific way.…”

“…In the work of Trujillo et al [12], the content is focused on the importance of tracking changes made on the model, while the issue of generating interfaces is not addressed. Despite this, we consider the article to be relevant, as it can be presented as a complement to the other papers we selected, due to the fact that in only a few of them the authors specify what happens when it is necessary to step back from a previous model.…”

“…The second component is the correspondence model, which comprises the relationship between models, from the base model to the target model, which includes the customized elements employed to add functionality to the interfaces. Trujillo et al [12] note that, in order to properly track modifications in model transformations, it is necessary to account for three basic concepts: models, metamodels, and model transformations. Models are the representation of the problem which is to be solved.…”

“…The lack of flexibility of tools for model-based user interface generation has been addressed in the literature [11], [12]. Main weaknesses of these models include the high degree of similarity among automatically-generated interfaces and the reduced amount of configuration options, which make it harder to fulfill all the project requirements properly.…”

Uma abordagem de desenvolvimento de linha de produtos orientada a modelos para a construção de famílias de sistemas embarcados críticos

“…No trabalho apresentado por Trujillo et al (2009) os autores estendem a noção de variabilidades de uma LP baseada em modelos para gerência de variabilidades em metamodelos e transformações de modelos. Para isso, os autores propõem a aplicação da técnica de refinamento orientada a features para modelos, metamodelos e transformações de modelos.…”
