Modeling Language Extension in the Enterprise Systems Domain

Enhancing Interaction Flow Modeling Language Metamodels for Designing Features of Rich Internet Applications

“…Extension methods and models classified for two categorists that are; extension purpose and extension mechanism [32]. Extension purpose highlights the aim of the researcher to enhance the method, but extension mechanism focused on how extending methods technically, as explained in [33,34]. Finally, we can conclude this section is; IFML has extensibility for RIA features, in the next section we proposing a new approach for that aim.…”

Model and Data Engineering

“…outlines the current state of the art and provides a classification for mechanisms and the underlying purposes [9]. Atkinson et al (2013) discuss the topic against the background of enterprise modeling, present some extension design principles and introduce a multilevel modeling approach [8]. examine BPMN extensions and found that only few extensions are compliant to the meta model [5].…”

“…presents the state of the art of extending enterprise modeling languages and detects a remarkable lack of precise extension mechanisms [2]. Atkinson et al (2013) present extension design principles and introduce a multi-level modeling approach for extending the concrete syntax and view definitions [3]. Besides, there are several works addressing extensibility of single languages: Braun & Esswein (2014) examine BPMN extensions and the authors found that only few extensions are compliant to the meta model [6].…”

A Generic Framework for Modifying and Extending Enterprise Modeling Languages

“…Further, language extensions and modifications are contributions to the management of language pluralism. Instead of springing up "yet another" domain-specific modeling language (DSML), having limited practical relevance, we proclaim the usage of a rather limited set of common EMLs on the one hand, while focussing their enhancement, modification and extensibility on the other hand (Atkinson et al, 2013;Braun, 2015b) 2 . Extensions or modifications of EMLs are usually employed on the meta model level of a language, which is referred as M2 level (OMG, 2014).…”
