The availability of shared software models provides opportunities for reusing, adapting and
learning from them. Public models are typically stored in a variety of locations, including …

Abstract Model-driven engineering (MDE) and search-based software engineering (SBSE)
are both relevant approaches to software engineering. MDE aims to raise the level of …

Search engines extract data from relevant sources and make them available to users via
queries. A search engine typically crawls the web to gather data, analyses and indexes it …

Model comparison has been widely used to support many tasks in model-driven software
development. For this reason, many techniques of comparing them have been proposed in …

Software development teams need to deal with several open reports of critical bugs to be
addressed urgently and simultaneously. The management of these bugs is a complex …

Plagiarism is a widespread problem in computer science education, exacerbated by the
impracticability of manual inspection in large courses. Even worse, tools based on large …

In this article, we address how the production of model transformations (MT) can be
accelerated by automation of transformation synthesis from requirements, examples, and …

Ontologies have emerged to establish a well-defined meaning for information, solving
problems of heterogeneity in data semantics and facilitating the process of information …

Context The purpose of software restructuring, or refactoring, is to improve software quality
and developer productivity. Objective Prior studies have relied mainly on static and dynamic …

Software design normally requires a collection of interdependent models conforming to
different metamodels. These multi-models present different views of interest and may be …
