Abstract Growing adoption of Model-Driven Engineering has hugely increased the number
of modelling artefacts (models, metamodels, transformations,...) to be managed. Therefore …

In this paper, a literature review and classification scheme for selected software engineering
researches is presented. The study shows that an increasing volume of software …

Researchers often analyze several revisions of a software project to obtain historical data
about its evolution. For example, they statically analyze the source code and monitor the …

Programmers make many changes to the program to eventually find a good solution for a
given task. In this course of change, every intermediate development state can of value …

A group of developers at Siemens Digital Industry Division approached our team to help
them restructure a large legacy system. Several problems were identified, including the …

Data interoperability implies data exchanges among intra and inter enterprises collaborating
with information systems (IS). The multiplicity of these exchanges and the increasing number …

To support program comprehension, maintenance, and evolution, metamodels are
frequently used during program reverse engineering activities to describe and analyze …

Version control systems (VCS) have become indispensable to develop software. Next to
their immediate advantages, they also offer information about the evolution of software and …

Software product line engineering allows common features to be reused to implement a set
of products. Implementing a product line can be done using several paradigms, including …
