Abstract

Metamodels are important artefacts in Model-Driven Engineering. Composition and adaptation of metamodels have been studied thoroughly during the last decade. However, there are still challenges concerning how to co-evolve modelling artefacts as metamodels are changed. Specifically, conformant models will no longer be valid instances of their changed metamodel. In this paper, we propose a formal analysis-based framework for composition and adaptation of metamodels. The framework enables an arbitrary number of metamodels to evolve based on adaptation strategies. During the analysis we accumulate information that are used to re-establish conformance between existing models and the metamodels. We prove how model conformance is ensured based on the accumulated information from the analysis.
