Automating the construction of models based on domain views

Abstract

This work addresses the automatic generation of the resources required for the assisted creation of domain models according to specialized views of their meta-model. The task of a designer who builds models compliant to a complex domain meta-model is eased if the model editor requests the information according to a specific view of the meta-model based on the conceptualization or the specific construction strategy that the designer uses. With that aim, this work presents 1) the meta-model with which a domain expert formulates the model creation strategy that he envisions, 2) the tool that, from that strategy information, generates the meta-model that drives data introduction and 3) the M2M transformation that generates the final model compliant to the original domain meta-model and that contains the newly introduced data.
