Abstract

In Model-Driven Engineering, analogously to any
software artifact, metamodels are equally prone to evolution.
When a metamodel undergoes modifications, all the related
artifacts must be accordingly adapted in order to remain valid.
Manual co-evolution of models after these metamodel changes is
error-prone. In this setting, this paper introduces a semiautomatic
process for the co-evolution of models after metamodel
evolution. The process is divided in four main stages: at the
differencing stage, the changes to the metamodel are detected.
After that these changes are linked with the original model
elements and represented in a weaving model which serves to
generate a transformation used in the last stage in order to obtain
the evolved model. Contributions of this paper include the
automatic co-evolution of breaking and resolvable changes and
the assistance to the model developer in the co-evolution of
breaking and un-resolvable changes.
