Model-based Software Engineering: The challenges of modelling behaviour

摘要

The vision of model-based software engineering is to make models the main focus of software development and to automatically generate software from these models. Part of that idea works already today. But, there are still difficulties when it comes to behaviour. Actually, there is no lack in models for behaviour, but a lack of concepts for integrating them with the other models and with existing code. In this paper, we discuss some of the main challenges in behaviour modelling and integration and present some ideas on how to overcome them - and, still, many open issues.
