“…Bork and Sinz proposed two categories of performing multi-view modelling, referred to as multi-view modelling principles: system-oriented and diagram-oriented multi-view modelling (cf. Bork and Sinz, 2013). In the former case, an operator is applied to a specific diagram or to the model itself.…”

“…In the latter case, "editing of a model is done by applying an operator to a single diagram. The effects of the operator can only be seen in the diagram" (Bork and Sinz, 2013). The modelling tool explicitly allows temporarily inconsistencies between the views, i.e., due to usability.…”

“…Multi-view modelling methods (MVMM) help to cope with this complexity by dividing the modelled system into multiple views. Each view considers only certain aspects of the system thereby utilizing a certain perspective on it (Bork and Sinz, 2013). The views use the abstraction level and concepts most suitable to map the aspects of the subarea considered by the view onto the model.…”

As the complexity of modern computer and enterprise systems is ever increasing due to emerging technologies and the need to integrate different systems, modelling tools, designed to encourage modellers in creating models according to the complex reality are of rising importance. Multi-view modelling methods (MVMM) can cope with this complexity by providing visualization, decomposition, and specialization functionality. The creation of a model is decomposed into the creation of several views and integrating them in order to derive the whole model of the system. Keeping the multiple views consistent and providing suitable visualization means is vital for applicability and usability of MVMMs. By contrast, when designing such tools, one is forced to adopt conventional software engineering approaches. The paper at hand tries to contribute filling that research gap by introducing a model-driven approach, tailored to the specifics of designing multi-view modelling tools. A prototypical implementation of the approach enables automatic generation of modelling tools for MVMM using the ADOxx meta modelling platform.
