  abstract  = {In Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), metamodels and domain-specific
	languages are key artifacts as they are used to define syntax and
	static semantics of domain models. However, metamodels are evolving
	over time, requiring existing domain models to be co-evolved. Though
	approaches have been proposed for performing such co-evolution automatically,
	those approaches typically support only specific metamodel changes.
	In this paper, we present a vision of co-evolution between metamodels
	and models through consistent change propagation. The approach addresses
	co-evolution issues without being limited to specific metamodels
	or evolution scenarios. It relies on incremental management of metamodel-based
	constraints that are used to detect co-evolution failures (i.e.,
	inconsistencies between metamodel and model). After failure detection,
	the approach automatically generates suggestions for correction (i.e.,
	repairs for inconsistencies). A case study with the UML metamodel
	and 23 UML models shows that the approach is technically feasible
	and also scalable.},
