Abstract

Analyzing and modelling a software system with separate views is a good practice to deal with complexity and maintainability. When adopting such a modular approach for modelling, it is necessary to have the ability to automatically compose models to build a global view of the system. In this paper we propose a generic framework for composition that is independent from a modelling language. We define a process for adapting this framework to particular modelling language (defined with a metamodel) and illustrate how the generic composition has been specialized for class diagrams.
