Title
Towards the characterization of realistic models: evaluation of multidisciplinary graph metrics.
Abstract
Custom generators of graph-based models are used in MDE for many purposes such as functional testing and performance benchmarking of modeling environments to ensure the correctness and scalability of tools. However, while existing generators may generate large models in increasing size, these models are claimed to be simple and synthetic, which hinders their credibility for industrial and research benchmarking purposes. But how to characterize a realistic model used in software and systems engineering? This question is investigated in the paper by collecting over 17 different widely used graph metrics taken from other disciplines (e.g. network theory) and evaluating them on 83 instance models originating from six modeling domains. Our preliminary results show that certain metrics are similar within a domain, but differ greatly between domains, which makes them suitable input for future instance model generators to derive more realistic models.
