“…As this paper mainly address the consistency maintenance issue, in this section, we put the focus on the subset of these approaches that support one or several aspects of model evolution issue. To do that, we have studied a set of representative approaches, namely Edapt [7], previously called COPE [8], EMFMigrate [9], and the one developed by Cicchetti and al. [10].…”

This is an author-deposited version published in : http://oatao. Abstract-This work is situated in the context of the application of Model Driven Engineering to complex systems viewbased modelling. In fact, view-based models -called also partial models -are manipulated by different actors (designers), and are thus generally heterogeneous, that is, described with different DSLs (Domain Specific Languages). Instead of building a single global model, which is not realistic, we propose to organize the different partial models as a network of related models, which provides a global view of the system through a correspondence model. As models are modelled separately by different designers, they also evolve separately that induces a problem of consistency. To solve it, we propose a semi-automatic process based on the correspondence model allowing detecting changes, calculating their impacts, and proposing modifications to maintain the consistency among them. The approach is supported by a tool chain and illustrated by the example of a Bug Tracking System.

“…In the general case, semanticspreserving transformations must be developed manually, based on the understanding of the semantic intent of the change. Several dedicated languages for metamodel/model co-evolution have been recently developed for specifying semantic-preserving transformations [5,14,25,31]. Most related to our approach is [36], where the composition of atomic differences to composite differences is discussed for Ecore-based metamodels.…”

Abstract. Multi-viewpoint modeling is an effective technique to deal with the ever-growing complexity of large-scale systems. The evolution of multi-viewpoint system specifications is currently accomplished in terms of fine-grained atomic changes. Apart from being a very low-level and cumbersome strategy, it is also quite unnatural to system modelers, who think of model evolution in terms of coarse-grained high-level changes. In order to bridge this gap, we propose an approach to formally express and manipulate viewpoint changes in a high-level fashion, by structuring atomic changes into coarse-grained composite ones. These can also be used to formally define reconciling operations to adapt dependent views, using coupled transformations. We introduce a modeling language based on graph transformations and Maude for expressing both, the coarse-grained changes and the coupled transformations that propagate them to reestablish global consistency. We demonstrate the applicability of the approach by its application in the context of RM-ODP.

“…Operator-based approaches, such as [12,25], provide coupled operators that allow metamodel changes and model migration strategies to be specified together. By capturing recurring co-evolution patterns as operators, these approaches avoid the need to specify identity rules, reusing recurring combinations of metamodel evolution and model migration through coupled operations.…”

Abstract. Modelling languages and thus their metamodels are subject to change. When a metamodel evolves, existing models may no longer conform to the evolved metamodel. To avoid rebuilding them from scratch, existing models must be migrated to conform to the evolved metamodel. Manually migrating existing models is tedious and errorprone. To alleviate this, several tools have been proposed to build a migration strategy that automates the migration of existing models. Little is known about the advantages and disadvantages of the tools in different situations. In this paper, we thus compare a representative sample of migration tools -AML, COPE, Ecore2Ecore and Epsilon Flock -using common migration examples. The criteria used in the comparison aim to support users in selecting the most appropriate tool for their situation.
