View-centric engineering with synchronized heterogeneous models
Max E. Kramer, Erik Burger, Michael Langhammer · 2013
Model-Driven Engineering provides an abstract representation of systems through the use of models and views. For complex systems, however, finding a single model and a single view to represent all relevant information of the system is infeasible. Specialized models for specific subsystems, domains or abstractions are more concise and thus more efficient than monolithic models. Furthermore, different tasks and concerns often require different views on the same model. Sustaining the consistency between different views and models is hard, especially if new models and views are dynamically added.
