Motivation
In complex systems and software engineering, multiple models often represent different aspects of a system using heterogeneous metamodels, such as UML, SysML, or domain-specific languages. Integrating these diverse models is challenging due to differences in syntax, semantics, and element correspondences. The Virtual Single Underlying Metamodel (V-SUMM) concept provides a unified framework to link multiple metamodels, supporting cross-view consistency, traceability, and system understanding. Designing a V-SUMM framework and evaluating its effectiveness will contribute both to scientific research in multi-view modeling and to practical tool support for model-driven engineering.
Tasks
The student will design a conceptual V-SUMM framework capable of integrating two or more heterogeneous metamodels and implement a prototype tool to support the framework. This involves analyzing the selected metamodels, defining correspondences between their elements, and formalizing consistency rules for cross-metamodel integration. The student will then evaluate the framework by applying it to a representative case study, such as a brake system and analyze the effectiveness of the integration and consistency checking. Documentation of design decisions, evaluation results, and validation will also be part of the task.
Benefits
- Gain hands-on experience in multi-view modeling, automated analysis, and prototype development.
- Exposure to research-oriented modeling concepts.
- Opportunity to contribute to active research at KIT.
