Scalable model exploration through abstraction and fragmentation strategies

Abstract:

Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) promotes the use of models to conduct all phases of software development in an automated way. However, for complex systems, these models may become large and unwieldy, and hence difficult to process and comprehend. In order to alleviate this situation, we explore the combination of model fragmentation strategies, to split models into more manageable chunks; and model abstraction and visualization mechanisms, able to provide simpler views of the models. The feasibility of this combination is confirmed based on an evaluation over a synthetic models, and the model sets of the GraBaTs'09 contest.
