International Workshop on Comparision and Versioning of Software Models (CVSM 2014).
Pit Pietsch, Udo Kelter, Jan Oliver Ringert · 2014
The International Workshop Series on Comparison and Versioning of Models brings together scientists and practitioners in the field of model versioning. Particularly technologies like comparison, versioning, merging, patching and weaving of models are addressed. These technologies are indispensable to support model-based development methods and consequently they have been subject of intensive research in the last decade. A significant number of algorithms and tools have been developed. Empirical evaluations on these tools have been conducted so far mostly by suppliers of the technologies, typically using a small set of use cases and data sets. These evaluations cannot be reproduced or repeated with competing approaches due to the lack of available materials. Naturally, this hinders progress because no objective judgment of the different approaches can be made.
