Software and systems modeling with graph transformations theme issue of the Journal on Software and Systems Modeling

摘要

Over the years model-based development has rapidly gained popularity in various engineering disciplines. Numerous efforts have resulted in the invention of an abundance of appropriate modeling concepts, languages, and tools. Today modeling activities often span multiple disciplines and have to be addressed by collaborative efforts across disciplines such as industrial automation, business engineering, hardware/software co-design, real-time system development, Web 2.0 application design, and so forth. As a consequence, model-based development techniques related to the analysis, synchronization, and execution of families of models that are concurrently developed by different engineers on different levels of abstraction play a major role in many software and systems development projects.
