Description
Multi-level modeling (MLM), or deep metamodeling, represents a significant extension to traditional object-oriented modeling with the potential to dramatically improve upon the utility, reliability and complexity of models. In contrast to conventional approaches, they allow for an arbitrary number of classification levels and introduce other concepts that foster expressiveness, reuse and adaptability. A key aspect of the multi-level modeling paradigm is the use of entities that are simultaneously types and instances, a feature which has consequences for conceptual modeling, language engineering and for the development of model-based software systems.
The objectives of the MULTI workshop series are to provide a forum for the multi-level modeling community to address the foundations of multi-level modeling approaches and to support future multi-level modelers through better DSMLs, tools, methods and guidelines. The workshop encourages the presentation of case studies and tool demonstrations. Furthermore, a challenge is organized which is aimed at comparing different approaches to multilevel modeling. The challenge description is available on the workshop website.
