Title
Variants and Versions Management for Models with Integrated Consistency Preservation.
Abstract
Modern software systems are often developed and maintained by describing them in several modeling and programming languages. To reduce complexity and improve understandability of such systems, models represent specific views on the system. These views have semantic interrelations (e.g., by sharing common or dependent information) that need to be kept consistent during evolution of the system. Apart from that, modern systems need to run in many different contexts and be highly configurable to satisfy the demand for fully customizable products. Such variable systems often comprise various dependencies from which inconsistencies may arise. Combining solutions for consistency management with variants and versions management, however, comes with many challenges. In this research-in-progress paper, we introduce the VaVe approach which makes variants and versions management aware of automated consistency preservation in the context of multi-view modeling. We explain core features of the approach and reason about its benefits and limitations.
