KA2 Strategic Partnership Project | 2014-1-AT01-KA203-000942 The University of Vienna… Was founded by Duke R Rudolph IV in in 1 1365. It is the oldest University in the German-speaking cultural area and one of the largest in Central Europe. The University of Vienna is the largest teaching and Research institution in Austria, with ca. 6,900 persons academic staff. It aims to sustain a wide range of studies as well as to promote new and innovative fields of research. Currently, about 92,000 students are enrolled in more than 187 Study Programmes, comprising 55 Bachelor, 116 Master, 4 Diploma and 12 PhD Programmes, which lead to 12.600 graduates per year. www.omilab.org

KA2 Strategic Partnership Project | 2014-1-AT01-KA203-000942 Prof. Dimitris Karagiannis Challenges in Modelling? • Models are able to capture specifics of different domains by using  domain- and task-specific Languages, Procedures, Mechanisms, ... • Problem:  Models are processed by different users  Fast changing and volatile fields continually require  New languages or language elements  New tools and techniques for model development  (Flexible) standards for different collaboration types  … • Modeling requires flexible concepts  Models of concepts vs. models that use concepts  Multi view modeling vs. multi processing www.omilab.org

KA2 Strategic Partnership Project | 2014-1-AT01-KA203-000942 Prof. Dimitris Karagiannis How to model? Goals:  Raise the abstraction level (relates to the domain)  Focus on abstract representations (set of modelling concepts)  Create problem-level instances automatically by model transformations Challenges:  How to capture problem-level abstractions in modeling languages?  How to separate and integrate concerns in multiple viewpoints, utilizing different modeling languages?  How to handle multiple models in a dynamic manner?  Consistency among different levels of abstractions www.omilab.org

KA2 Strategic Partnership Project | 2014-1-AT01-KA203-000942 Motivators for AMME Core motivator: All requirements can not be known from the start (Just like software requirements) modelling requirements are changing Causes for changes  Modelling needs evolve as users become familiar with modelling (and an initial prototype)  Change requests for ”conceptual model”-aware systems propagate into new modelling requirements  Gradual understanding of a new domain (in domain-specific modelling)  Gradual need for deeper specialization of concepts www.omilab.org
