“…However, this solution was very limited in scope, because it disallows the cases identified as problematic by [6]: it requires that a reachable globally consistent state exists and not only that it be unique, but more, that it be reachable in only one way. A related journal paper, Di Rocco et al [19] has very recently appeared; however, its focus is orthogonal to ours and it does not seem to lift the relevant restrictions.…”

Software build systems tackle the problem of building software from sources in a way which is sound (when a build completes successfully, the relations between the generated and source files are as specified) and optimal (only genuinely required rebuilding steps are done). In this paper, we explain and exploit the connection between software build and the megamodel consistency problem. The model-driven development of systems involves multiple models, metamodels and transformations. Transformations-which may be bidirectional-specify, and provide means to enforce, desired "consistency" relationships between models. We can describe the whole configuration using a megamodel. As development proceeds, and various models are modified, we need to be able to restore consistency in the megamodel, so that the consequences of decisions first recorded in one model are appropriately reflected in the others. At the same time, we need to minimise the amount of recomputation needed; in particular, we would like to avoid reapplying a transformation when no relevant changes have occurred in the models it relates. The megamodel consistency problem requires flexibility beyond what is found in conventional software build, because different results are obtained depending on which models are allowed to be modified and on the order and direction of transformation application. In this paper, we propose using an orientation model to make important choices explicit. We show how to extend the formalised build system pluto to provide a means of restoring consistency in a megamodel, that is, in appropriate senses, flexible, sound and optimal.

“…Understanding MDE projects: megamodels to the rescue for architecture recovery [3] presents an experience report on applying recovery to MDE projects. It is a necessary contribution for the MDE community to show how megamodels, architecture recovery, and visualizations can work together in order to help in understanding systems.…”

“…Comparing and Classifying Model Transformation Reuse Approaches across Metamodels [2] is a survey conducted by a large number of authors on the important topic of model transformation reuse. This paper is an important contribution to the MDE community, because of the fact that it gives insight into the use of model transformations by (academic) practitioners, and it presents a thorough classification of various types of model transformation reuse.…”

Abstract: Quality insurance creates a leverage effect in the global market competition, in particular for software development processes. Thus, companies are brought to use several standards and benchmarks of good practices in management and control of information systems. However, implementing several standards within the same company is difficult and time consuming. In this paper, we propose a Model Driven Engineering approach of building a common repository. It is focused on the common metamodel building. The transformation rules are formalized and illustrated by CMMI model. Keywords: About four key words or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by commas.
