Towards a solution for synchronizing disparate models of ultra-large-scale systems
James H. Hill, Jules White, Sean Eade, Douglas C. Schmidt, Trip Denton · 2008
Traditional model-driven engineering (MDE) techniques rely on a paradigm where systems are developed using tightly coupled, monolithic modeling tools. Such monolithic modeling tools address many concerns, but operate largely in isolation of one another. As system size and complexity grow to become ultra-large-scale (ULS) systems, it is becoming clear that no single monolithic modeling tool can capture all the concerns of an ULS system. It is therefore essential that isolated modeling tools collaborate with each other when realizing ULS systems.
