MODEVVA

The MoDeVVa workshop series is dedicated to the interaction between advancements in the field of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) and in the field of Verification and Validation (V&V). During the eight previous editions, it became evident that this ...

Development environments that support Model-Driven Development often focus on model-level functional testing, enabling verification of design models against their specifications. However, developers of safety-critical software systems are also required ...

Systems engineering, and especially the modeling of safety critical systems, needs proper means for early Validation and Verification (V&V) to detect critical issues as soon as possible. The objective of our work is to identify a verifiable subset of ...

Feature-oriented software development (FOSD) has several benefits over traditional development practices, but also introduces the problem of feature interactions. We have defined a method for detecting semantic feature interactions in models expressed ...

Model transformations are a central element of model-driven development (MDD) approaches. The correctness of model transformations is critical to their effective use in practical software development, since users must be able to rely upon ...

When developing complex software systems, it is vital to ensure that the final product satisfies all the stated requirements. Model checking can help to exhaustively check models of such systems, but due to its high computation demands, it is often not ...

Domain specific languages allow users to directly express domain concepts in their programs and thereby eliminate the accidental complexity resulting from implementation details irrelevant to the domain. Cleaner programs, written in DSLs are much easier ...

Uncertainty is pervasive in Model-based Software Engineering. In previous work, we have proposed partial models as a way to explicate uncertainty during modeling. Using partial models, modelers can perform certain forms of reasoning, like checking ...

Symbolic execution is a program analysis technique that attempts to explore all possible paths through a program by using symbolic values rather than actual data values as inputs. When applied to Statecharts, a model-based formalism for reactive systems,...
