  abstract = {{In recent years, model-driven software development (MDSD) has gained popularity among both industry and academia. MDSD aims to generate traditional software artifacts from models. This generation process is realized in multiple steps. Thus, before being transformed to software artifacts, models are transformed into models of other metamodels. Such model transformation is supported by dedicated model transformation languages. In many cases, these are entirely new languages (external domain-specific languages, DSLs) for a more clear and concise representation of abstractions. On the other hand, the tool support is rather poor and the transformation developers hardly know the transformation language. A possible solution for this problem is to extend the programming language typically used by developers (mostly Java or C\#) with the required abstractions. This can be achieved with an internal DSL. Thus, concepts of the host language can easily be reused while still creating the necessary abstractions to ease development of model transformations. Furthermore, the tool support for the host language can be reused for the DSL. In this master thesis, NMF Transformations is presented, a framework and internal DSL for C\#. It equips developers with the ability to specify model transformations in languages like C\# without having to give up abstractions known from model transformation standards. Transformation developers get the full tool support provided for C\#. The applicability of NMF Transformations as well as the impact of NMF Transformations to quality attributes of model transformations is evaluated in three case studies. Two of them come from the Transformation Tool Contests 2013 (TTC). With these case studies, NMF Transformations is compared with other approaches to model transformation. A further case study comes from ABB Corporate Research to demonstrate the advantages of NMF Transformations in an industrial scenario where aspects like testability gain special importance.}},

  abstract = {{To increase the development productivity, possibilities for reuse, maintainability and quality of complex model transformations, modularization techniques are indispensable. Component-Based Software Engineering targets the challenge of modularity and is well-established in languages like Java or C\# with component models like .NET, EJB or OSGi. There are still many challenging barriers to overcome in current model transformation languages to provide comparable support for component-based development of model transformations. Therefore, this paper provides a pragmatic solution based on NMF Transformations, a model transformation language realized as an internal DSL embedded in C\#. An internal DSL can take advantage of the whole expressiveness and tooling build for the well established and known host language. In this work, we use the component model of the .NET platform to represent reusable components of model transformations to support internal and external model transformation composition. The transformation components are hidden behind transformation rule interfaces that can be exchanged dynamically through configuration. Using this approach we illustrate the possibilities to tackle typical issues of integrity and versioning, such as detecting versioning conflicts for model transformations.}},

  abstract = {{Despite good results, Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) has not been widely adopted in industry. According to studies by Staron and Mohaghegi, the lack of tool support is one of the major reasons for this. Although MDE has existed for more than a decade now, tool support is still insufficient. An approach to overcome this limitation for model transformations, which are a key part of MDE, is the usage of internal languages that reuse tool support for existing host languages. On the other hand, these internal languages typically do not provide key features like change propagation or bidirectional transformation. In this paper, we present an approach to use a single internal model transformation language to create unidirectional and bidirectional model transformations with optional change propagation. In total, we currently provide 18 operation modes based on a single specification. At the same time, the language may reuse tool support for C\#. We validate the applicability of our language using a synthetic example with a transformation from finite state machines to Petri nets where we achieved speedups of up to 48 compared to classical batch transformations.}},

  abstract = {{Although robotics has made progress with respect to adaptability and interaction in natural environments, it cannot match the capabilities of biological systems. A promising approach to solve this problem is to create biologically plausible robot controllers that use detailed neuronal networks. However, this approach yields a large gap between the neuronal network and its connection to the robot on the one side and the technical implementation on the other. Existing approaches neglect bridging this gap between disciplines and their focus on different abstractions layers but manually hand-craft the simulations. This makes the tight technical integration cumbersome and error-prone impairing round-trip validation and academic advancements. Our approach maps the problem to model-driven engineering techniques and defines a domain-specific language (DSL) for integrating biologically plausible Neuronal Networks in robot control algorithms. It provides different levels of abstraction and sets an interface standard for integration. Our approach is implemented in the Neuro-Robotics Platform (NRP) of the Human Brain Project (HBP). Its practical applicability is validated in a minimalist experiment inspired by the Braitenberg vehicles based on the simulation of a four-wheeled Husky robot controlled by a neuronal network.}},

Presumably, the quality of metamodel design strongly affects the models and transformations that conform to these metamodels. However, so far surprisingly few work has been done to validate the characterization of metamodel quality. A proper characterization is essential to automate quality improvements for metamodels such as metamodel refactorings. In this paper, we present an empirical study to sharpen the understanding of the perception of metamodel quality. In the study, 24 participants created metamodels of two different domains and evaluated the metamodels in a peer review process according to an evaluation sheet. The results show that the perceived quality was mainly driven by the metamodels completeness, correctness and modularity while other quality attributes could be neglected.}},

  abstract = {{As model-driven engineering (MDE) gets applied for the development of larger systems, the quality assurance of model-driven artifacts becomes more important. Here, metamodels are particularly important as many other artifacts depend on them. However, existing metrics have been rarely validated for metamodels or, even more, evaluation results disproved a correlation between these existing metrics and perceived metamodel modularity. In this paper, we present a new entropy-based metric to capture the perception of metamodel modularity and evaluate the metric in multiple case studies. In the case studies, we correlate the metric results of 32 metamodels across three different domains with 164 responses of a quality assessment questionnaire for which we collected responses in two empirical experiments. The results show significant and strong correlations in all three domains between the metric results and the perceived metamodel modularity.}},

  abstract = {{Todays systems are often represented by abstract domain models to cope with an increased complexity. To both ensure suitable analyses and validity checks, it is desirable to model the system in multiple levels of abstraction simultaneously. Doing so, it is often desirable to model that one association is a refinement of another to avoid duplication of concepts. Existing approaches that support refinements request metamodelers to use new modeling paradigms or have less efficient model representations than commonly-used technologies such as EMF with Ecore. In this paper, we propose a non-invasive extension to support refinements and structural decompositions in Ecore-like meta-metamodels, show how these extension can be supported by code generation and show that the fulfillment of refinements can be guaranteed by the underlying type system.}},

  abstract = {{For its promises in terms of increased productivity, Model-driven engineering (MDE) is getting applied increasingly often in both industry and academia. However, most tools currently available are based on the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) and hence based on the Java platform whereas tool support for other platforms is limited. This leads to a language and tool adoption problem for developers of other platforms such as .NET. As a result, few projects on the .NET platform adopt MDE. In this paper, we present the .NET Modeling Framework (NMF), a tool set for model repositories, model-based incrementalization, model transformation, model synchronization and code generation that is now available for a multitude of different operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Android, iOS and Mac. The framework makes intensive use of the C\# language as host language for model transformation and synchronization languages, whereas the model repository serialization is compatible with EMF. This solves the language adoption problem for C\# programmers and creates a bridge to the EMF platform.}},

  abstract = {{Metamodels are a central artifact of model-driven engineering. As they determine the structure of instance models, they are a foundation for other model-driven artifacts such as model transformations, code generators or model analyses. Therefore, the quality of metamodels is important for any model-driven process. However, the implications of metamodel design to other artifacts such as model analyses or model transformations has barely been looked at through empirical research. In this paper, we present an empirical study where we analyzed equivalent model analyses and transformations for 19 different metamodels of the same domain. The results indicate that metamodel design has a strong influence to model analysis in terms of code metrics but only little influence on model transformations targeting this metamodel.}},
