Model-based software development is a way to overcome the increasing complexity of software products and their changeability [36]. It is based on dividing the software development into two separated processes: domain engineering and application engineering. Both include software development as a part. The first process provides software assets for the use in the second process. Software assets ...

Nowadays, software systems are getting more and more complex. To tackle this challenge most diverse techniques, such as design patterns, service oriented architectures (SOA), software development processes, and model-driven engineering (MDE), are used to improve productivity, while time to market and quality of the products stay stable. Multiple of these techniques are used in parallel to profi...
