ECMDA-FA '08: Proceedings of the 4th European conference on Model Driven Architecture: Foundations and Applications

In this paper, we deal with errors in metamodels. Metamodels define the abstract syntax of modeling languages. They play a central role in the Model-Driven Architecture. Other artifacts like models or tools are based on them and have to be changed if ...
Semi-automatic generation of metamodels from model sketches
ASE '13: Proceedings of the 28th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering

Traditionally, metamodeling is an upfront activity performed by experts for defining modeling languages. Modeling tools then typically restrict modelers to using only constructs defined in the metamodel. This is inappropriate when users want to sketch ...
