Agile modeling method engineering
Dimitris Karagiannis · 2015
By repurposing agility principles established in software engineering, this paper provides an overview on the practice of Agile Modeling Method Engineering (AMME) driven by evolving requirements and motivated by emerging paradigms and research initiative -- e.g., Enterprise Modeling, Factories of the Future, Internet of Things, Cyber-physical Systems. The approach has emerged from experiences with meta-modeling projects developed within the frame of the Open Model Initiative Laboratory (OMILab), where flexibility challenges have been raised by (a) evolving modeling requirements, (b) modeling requirements propagating from run-time systems requirements, as well as (c) requirements pertaining to domain-specificity. The framework and the characteristics of AMME are hereby discussed with respect to both methodological and architectural aspects and the Open Model Initiative Laboratory is be presented as an instance setup of the generalized AMME framework.
