Abstract Details

2023, Master of Science, Miami University, Computer Science and Software Engineering.
Meta-model co-evolution is when a modeling language, defined by its meta-model, and any con- forming instance models evolve together. As domains change and requirements evolve, changes to meta-models become critical to ensure their alignment with reality. This thesis presents META- IM, a process capable of identifying changes made to meta-models from one version to the next and applying necessary updates to conforming instance models. META-IM is able to detect any type of change made to a meta-model, including additions, modifications, and deletions of each type of model element. By detecting and tracking these changes, META-IM is able to effectively ensure that all changes are propagated through to the conforming instance models, which allows for the seamless co-evolution of the meta-model and its instances. This enables domain-specific modeling languages to adapt to evolving needs and maintain the relevance and usefulness over time. META- IM was systematically evaluated and was able to correctly transform and adapt 100% of the test models.
