Abstract

A growing number of groups around the world design their individual modelling methods, in addition to existing standard ones for a variety of application domains. Modelling methods provide the necessary concepts capable to capture domain knowledge in terms of models that describe relevant aspects of an application domain. The construction of useful modelling methods is a complex task and requires high effort particularly when the entire spectrum of a method, ranging from language artefacts and a dedicated process, to functionality in terms of platform mechanisms (e.g., comparison, composition, translation, etc.) is addressed during the development. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
