Abstract Model merging conflicts occur when different stakeholders aim to integrate their
contradicting changes that are applied concurrently to update software models. We conduct …

With the emergence of model-driven engineering (MDE), software models are considered as
central artifacts in the software engineering process, going beyond their traditional use as …

In model-driven methodologies, model matching is the process of finding a matching pair for
every model element between two or more software models. Model matching is an important …

Nowadays, software systems are complex and large. To cope with this situation, teams of
developers have to cooperate and work in parallel on software models. Thus, techniques to …

While many engineering tasks can, and should be, manageable independently, it does
place a great burden on explicit collaboration needs—including the need for frequent and …

Abstract Model differencing is an important activity in model-based development processes.
Differences need to be detected, analyzed, and understood to evolve systems and explore …

Abstract Version Management is the most crucial step in Software Configuration
Management. The major phases of version management is analysis of changes made, the …

Much research was invested in the last decade to develop differencing methods to identify
the changes performed between two model versions. Typically, these changes are captured …

The employment of optimistic model versioning systems allows multiple developers of a
team to work independently on their local copies of a software model. The merging process …
