Abstract

Multi-Paradigm Modeling (MPM) addresses the necessity of using multiple modeling paradigms when designing complex systems. Because of its multidisciplinary nature, the MPM field involves research teams with technical backgrounds as different as control science, model checking, modeling language engineering or system-on-chip development. In this paper, we propose to explore the MPM domain through a survey of existing techniques from different horizons. Since the heterogeneity of models is at the heart of MPM, we first identify the sources of this heterogeneity and introduce the problems it raises. Then we show how the different existing techniques address these problems.
