“…Despite the heterogeneity, there are common concepts which can be mapped to each other. These similarities and differences are described in a comparative analysis between different meta-modeling languages [12]. Based on this, we can develop a transformation-based adapter approach in order to enhance the model and meta-model exchange.…”

Abstract-Modeling is a fundamental concept in software engineering and other system development disciplines. Nowadays the modeling process is supported by powerful modeling tools. Generally speaking, tools which support the definition and usage of self-defined languages are called meta-modeling tools. An important requirement for meta-modeling tools is the interoperability among each other. For instance, interoperability helps to build complex tool chains covering the whole development process. Furthermore, interoperability can also avoid the vendor lock-in effect. Thus, interoperability facilitates the replacement of a tool by a new tool better fitting the customer needs. The objective of this paper is to investigate the current status of interoperability between meta-modeling tools. In more detail, we study the degree of model exchange between meta-modeling tools and look for typical exchange approaches. The study focuses on meta-modeling tools and approaches which are being used in practice or the real world, respectively.

The exchange of models between meta-modeling tools is an important requirement. Tools often only cover a certain task in the development process. The exchange of models between different tools is necessary for covering a complete development process. Besides the aspect of cooperation, exchange of models also enables the replacement of old tools by new tools that better fit the customer's needs. In order to avoid the vendor lock-in effect, model exchange allows the reuse of existing models. In this paper, we focus on the problem of model exchange and present an mappingbased approach between different meta-modeling tools. The approach is centered around a declarative mapping language with a graphical notation and a solution for connecting different metamodeling tools. We apply our approach to exchange models between MetaEdit+ and Microsoft Visio.

“…In summary, this paper proposed a GOPPRR approach to support MBSE tool-chain formalisms and assessment. The GOPPRR approach is a powerful method for modeling architectures [46]. Using GOPPRR approach, meta-models for formalizing MBSE tool-chains are developed based on previous work [11].…”

Constructing and evaluating a comprehensive tool-chain with commercial off-the-shelf and proprietary tools for the deployment of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is a challenging and complex task. Specifically, the lack of early assessment during tool-chain development has led to increased research and development costs when unexpected features are developed or poor decisions are made. In this paper, a domain-specific modeling (DSM) approach is proposed to support decision-makings during tool-chain design and to facilitate quantitative assessment of tool-chain features at early-phases. Using this approach, different views of tool-chains are first formalized under a DSM framework. Then the DSM models are transformed to Bayesian network models for supporting the quantitative assessment of related tools in order to analyze the whole tool-chains' features. In the case study, the approach is verified by comparing two MBSE tool-chains for an auto-braking system design. The results indicate that the DSM approach enhances the understanding of tool-chain concepts, promotes the efficiency of MBSE tool-chain development, and verifies the tool-chain in early development phases using a quantitative approach.
