Abstract

Models have become more and more important in software development. The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) currently addressed by a large number of people, research groups, and tools documents this emphasis on having models as central artifacts in software engineering. Typically, a model undergoesmany changes in its lifetime, in the same way as an end product (software) does. If it does not, the model might have been a throw away artifact which is no longer connected to the software developed from it. To prevent having throw-away models, we believe that one needs strong tool support for the evolution of models which allows us to continuously develop and refine existing models.
