ABSTRACT
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is a methodology that aims to simplify the process of designing complex systems, by using models as an abstract representation of the underlying system.
This methodology allows domain experts to more easily focus on system design, where their knowledge is more useful, without having to work with the system implementation complexities. Search Based Model Engineering applies MDE concepts to optimisation problems. The goal is to simplify the process of solving optimisation problems for domain experts, by abstracting the complexity of solving optimisation problems and allowing them to focus on the domain level issues..
In this tool demostration we present MDEOptimiser (MDEO), a tool for specifying and solving optimisation problems using MDE. With MDEO the user can specify optimisation problems using a simple DSL. The tool can run evolutionary optimisation algorithms that use models as an encoding for population members and model transformations as search operators. We showcase the functionality of the tool using a number of case studies. We aim to show that with MDEO, specifying optimisation problems becomes a less complex task compared to custom implementations.
