In the field of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), evolution is a key issue given the non-trivial nature of updating widely distributed and heterogeneous systems. In particular, the evolution of a service is expressed through the creation and decommissioning of different service versions during its lifetime. These versions must be aligned with each other in such a way as to allow a service de...

The Repository for Model-Driven Development (REMODD) is a community resource developed to support the research and education activities of researchers and educators in the Model-Driven Development (MDD) community. Researchers and practitioners can use the repository as a vehicle for sharing exemplar models, illustrative descriptions of modeling methodologies and techniques, detailed modeling ca...

Identity management and access control are essential in the enterprise IT landscape in order to control access to applications and to fulfil laws or regulations. The global competition of enterprises leads to short development cycles and fast changes of IT applications, which requires also an error-free and quick adaption of its security. The modeldriven development of access control policies p...

The importance of comprehensive annotations for learning resources is widely recognized. However, it is often unclear how these annotations should be created. A promising solution might be that learners annotate learning resources during execution of learning processes. This paper examines tagging as a learner-driven approach that can be used to get annotations on a collaborative level. The cha...

Purpose – Exploratory learning is regarded as an important ability for developing knowledge from open environments. During the exploration, learners not only need to acquire new information based on their current interests, but also they need to form new perspectives by incorporating new knowledge into their previous knowledge. This paper seeks to address these issues. Design/methodology/approa...

The application of model-driven development facilitates faster and more flexible integration by separating system descriptions to different levels of abstraction. In crossorganisational development new challenges arise to enable enterprise models sharing knowledge independent of language and tools. However, interoperability problems in modelling can be hardly overcome by solutions operating ess...

This report contains the proceedings of the ECMDA Traceability Workshop. The papers within target various aspects of traceability in model-driven development.

Context: Nowadays, there are sound methods and tools which implement the Model-Driven Develop-ment approach (MDD) satisfactorily. However, MDD approaches focus on representing and generating code that represents functionality, behaviour and persistence, putt ing the interaction, and more specifically the usability, i n a second place. If we aim to include usability features in a system develope...

This article reports on an experiment to apply a model-driven approach for systems engineering in an industrial context. This experiment consisted of setting up a model-driven simulation environment for a maritime surveillance system. The simulation is fully based on three models, each conforming to a specific metamodel. We discuss the main advances given by model-driven orientated simulation f...

Model Transformations are the core of Model Driven Development; hence for generating high quality artifacts we need methods able to assure the quality of model transformations. In this work, we focus on Model to Text Transformations and propose a method, composed by a set of integrated approaches and a series of guidelines, for testing model transformations. We classify the test approaches comp...
