  • 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

Challenges in Modelling?

  • Prof. Dimitris Karagiannis

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

How to model?

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

  • Scope of models: applicative (to

describe behavioural, structural, intentional elements of an application case)

  • Knowledge acquisition = case

analysis (domain understanding is assumed)

  • Previously designed concepts are

the main constructs ("activity", "role", "IT system", "stock" etc.)

  • Sometimes known as domain-

specific models ("models of things in the domain")

Models tha

that u t use concepts

Models of

  • f concepts
  • Scope of models: ontological

(to describe categories of being and their relations)

  • Knowledge acquisition =

domain analysis

  • The concept of "concept" is the

main construct (seen as "entity", "class", "set" etc.)

  • Sometimes known as domain

models ("models of the domain")

The Practice of Modelling Method Engineering

  • Iterative: repeat activities and

potentially revisit same work products

  • Incremental: each successive

version is usable and builds upon previous version

  • Version control: enabler for other

Agile practices

  • Team: small group of people

assigned to the same project with shared accountability

THE APPROACH

  • A research and experimental

laboratory for the conceptualization, development and deployment of modeling methods and the models designed with them.

  • Project space for Engineering of

modelling methods and modelling tools

  • A space for a community of

researchers and practitioners sharing a common understanding about model value
