Guest editorial to the special issue on MODELS 2010

摘要

Welcome to this special issue of Software and Systems Modeling devoted to selected papers of MODELS 2010. The MODELS series of conferences is the premier venue for exchange of innovative ideas and practical experience focusing on a very important new technical discipline: model-driven software and systems engineering. The expansion of this discipline is a direct consequence of the increasing significance and success of model-based methods in practice. Numerous efforts resulted in the invention of concepts, languages and tools for the definition, analysis, transformation, and verification of domain-specific modeling languages and general-purpose modeling language standards, as well as their use for software and systems engineering.
