In model-driven development processes, models are being evolved over a longer period of time. Tools are thus needed which can manage versions, compare them, measure their (dis)similarity, merge different models into one, etc. This need has triggered a lot of research into appropriate algorithms, interfaces and tool architectures in the last ten years. While many basic questions have been answer...

Come with us to read a new book that is coming recently. Yeah, this is a new coming book that many people really want to read will you be one of them? Of course, you should be. It will not make you feel so hard to enjoy your life. Even some people think that reading is a hard to do, you must be sure that you can do it. Hard will be felt when you have no ideas about what kind of book to read. Or...

Model-driven engineering and model-based approaches have permeated all branches of software engineering; to the point that it seems that we are using models, as Molière’s Monsieur Jourdain was using prose, without knowing it. At the heart of modeling, there is a relation that we establish to represent something by something else. In this paper we review various definitions of models and relatio...

Late identification of performance problems can lead to significant additional development costs. Hence, it is necessary to address performance in several development phases by performing a performance engineering process. We show that Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) specifics can be utilised for performance engineering. Therefore, we propose a process combining MDE and performance engineering c...

Abstract Recommender systems are information filtering used in many online applications like music and video broadcasting e-commerce platforms. They also increasingly being applied to facilitate software engineering activities. Following this trend, we witnessing a growing research interest on recommendation approaches that assist with modelling tasks model-based development processes. In paper...

The definition and construction of complex computer-based systems require not just software engineering knowledge, but also many other domainspecific techniques to ensure many system’s functional and non-functional properties. Hence, there is a trend to move away from programming languages to models on which one can reason: model-driven engineering. Yet, this remains a complex task: one need to...
