OMiLAB: An open collaborative environment for modeling method engineering

Abstract

OMiLAB is an open collaborative environment dedicated to modeling method engineering, which employs metamodeling as a technology to manage domain-specific abstraction and complexity. It builds on three pillars: the Collaborative Environment (people, "location" and activities), the Innovation Environment (scope and content) and the Technological Environment (tools and platforms). These three are described here in order to give an overview of the resources offered by OMiLAB to an active multi-disciplinary community of stakeholders interested in the value of models and the possibilities of domain-specific modeling.
