Abstract
This paper proposes an initial quality model for model composition effort, which serves as a frame of reference to developers and researchers to plan and perform qualitative and quantitative investigations, as well as replicate and reproduce empirical studies. A series of empirical studies supports the proposed quality model, including five industrial case studies, two controlled experiments, three quasi-experiments, interviews and seven observational studies. Moreover, these studies have systematically demonstrated the real benefits of using a frame of reference to enable learning about model composition effort from experimentation.

NCM '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Fifth International Joint Conference on INC, IMS and IDCModel composition is frequently used during large software development in MDE (Model Driven Engineering). The consistency of the composed model is quite essential to model composition. This paper presents a weaving-based model composition framework (...
