Simulation and analysis of MultEcore multilevel models based on rewriting logic

Rewriting Logic and Maude for the Formalization and Analysis of DSMLs, and the Prototyping of MDSE Tools.

“…Following an approach similar to the one discussed in Section 2, in (Macías et al 2019;Rodríguez et al 2022), the possibility of using Maude for providing a rewriting-logic semantics to MultEcore's MLM DSMLs and using it for execution and analysis was researched. Given an MLM definition of a DSML using the MultEcore facilities, a corresponding Maude (Clavel, Durán, et al 2007) specification can be automatically generated.…”

“…Once the rewriting logic specification of a MultEcore model is available, we can use the tools in Maude's formal environment to analyse it. The constructed infrastructure that connects MultEcore with Maude is detailed in Rodríguez et al 2022).…”

“…As mentioned in the previous sections, and explained in details in some of the papers we have already referred to, the formalization of both e-Motions and MultEcore have allowed us to provide access to some of the tools offered in the Maude environment (Durán et al 2011a,b;Clavel, Durán, et al 2007). Specifically, reachability analysis and model checking have been made available for both e-Motions (Rivera et al 2009a) and MultEcore (Rodríguez et al 2022). For MultEcore, the use of equational abstraction (Meseguer et al 2008) was exemplified in (Rodríguez et al 2022) to model check systems with infinite state spaces.…”

This is, however, not enough, other tools are available to check or analyze diverse properties on systems, or to be able to handle more complex systems not satisfying the requirements of these tools.…”

“…-Multi-level modeling (MLM): the same techniques used for e-Motions were applied to the development of an implementation for the MultEcore system (Macías et al 2016(Macías et al , 2017(Macías et al , 2018, a system for the development of MLM DSMLs. In this case, a categorical semantics was provided in (Macías et al 2018;Wolter et al 2020) and its full-fledged development using Maude was presented in Macías et al 2019;Rodríguez et al 2022). -Composition of DSMLs: the composition of DSMLs using e-Motions and MultEcore, or formalized using related technologies, was explored in (Durán, Orejas, & Zschaler 2012;Durán, Zschaler, & Troya 2012;Durán et al 2017;Zschaler & Durán 2021).…”
