Abstract:
Multi-level modeling has become a popular paradigm as it allows for a natural and easy-to-understand representation of various real-word hierarchies. To date, several approaches have been proposed on how multi-level models should be represented and constructed – how- ever, their continuous evolution and consistency has received consider- ably less attention. Consistency checking is critical to efficient and effec- tive modeling—especially to understand the impact of model changes. Multi-level modeling adds another dimension because it allows for both model and metamodel changes over multiple levels. This paper discusses the key challenges for consistency checking in multi-level modeling en- vironments and outlines an incremental and highly flexible approach for addressing these challenges effectively without being limited to a spe- cific modeling paradigm. A prototype implementation of the approach has been developed; preliminary evaluation results suggest that the ap- proach scales and provides instant consistency information during multi- level modeling.
