Abstract

Models are becoming the new programming code to specify software products. However, most tools that support model descriptions are oriented to a single-user with specific skills, which avoids the involvement of different roles to perform collaborative modeling (such as domain experts, stakeholders or end-users). In this paper, we present an approach to achieve collaborative modeling by bridging heterogeneous modeling languages. Specifically, our approach enables an existing modeling language to involve a different role who uses a different modeling language. On the one hand, we apply interoperability mechanisms to bridge heterogeneous modeling languages. On the other hand, we apply variability mechanisms in a novel way to set gaps in partially instantiated models that are completed using models of the different modeling language. We show the feasibility of the approach through a sample scenario that bridges two existing modeling languages to develop web information systems.

An ecore meta-model is a model of a model using the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF). EMF implements the Object Management Group’s (OMG) Meta Object Facility (MOF) specification, which standardizes a meta-model for object oriented analysis and design.
