S. Nejati, M. Sabetzadeh, M. Chechik, S. Easterbrook, и P. Zave. (мая 2007)Model Management addresses the problem of managing
an evolving collection of models, by capturing the relationships
between models and providing well-defined operators
to manipulate them. In this paper, we describe two
such operators for manipulating hierarchical Statecharts:
Match, for finding correspondences between models, and
Merge, for combining models with respect to known correspondences
between them. Our Match operator is heuristic,
making use of both static and behavioural properties
of the models to improve the accuracy of matching. Our
Merge operator preserves the hierarchical structure of the
input models, and handles differences in behaviour through
parameterization. In this way, we automatically construct
merges that preserve the semantics of Statecharts models.
We illustrate and evaluate our work by applying our operators
to AT&T telecommunication features..
