Over the years, a number of approaches have been proposed on the description of systems
and software in terms of multiple views represented by models. This modelling branch, so …

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) unleashes great opportunities to improve our way of
living and working through a seamless and highly dynamic cooperation among …

Model-Driven Engineering provides an abstract representation of systems through the use of
models and views. For complex systems, however, finding a single model and a single view …

Despite a large body of existing literature on automatic affect recognition, there seems to be
a lack of studies investigating task and social context for the purpose of automatically …

Steadily evolving models are the heart and soul of Model-Driven Engineering.
Consequently, all dependent model transformations have to be re-executed to reflect …

Design and development of complex software systems usually comprises multiple inter-
related models, ie abstract representations of certain aspects of the underlying system. The …

Modelling methods are applied for decades focussing on the analysis and design of holistic
conceptual representations of entire enterprises. Creation and interpretation of such holistic …

Software architecture is defined as the structural construction, design decisions
implementation, evolution and knowledge sharing mechanisms of a system. Software …

In embedded systems, non-functional and functional aspects are closely related and cannot
be considered independently. However, the high complexity of systems requires a large …

The main objective of this thesis is to bridge the gap between modeling method experts on
the one side and tool developers on the other. More precisely, the focus is on the …
