Abstract

Multi-level modeling has become a mature modeling paradigm both theoretically and by technical means. It has proved itself when a single domain has to be created without accidental complexity. However, when several interconnected domains are to be handled, multi-level modeling is still not as capable as legacy metamodeling. Our position paper aims to narrow the gap by the introduction of a novel technique that can combine several multi-level models from different domains statically. Besides its theoretical proposal, the solution is also defined in our multi-layer modeling framework (Dynamic Multi-Layer Algebra) and is demonstrated by an illustrative example.
