Descripción: "Model Driven Software Development" is a recent trend in development of software-intensive systems. In the Model Driven Software Development process, all knowledge pertaining to the software system to be built is represented in the form of models, in the right formalism(s) and at the right level of abstraction. At the highest level of abstraction, domain models, rather than generic models are used. Although the idea of developing the software system at a higher abstraction level is appealing, many fundamental questions remain unresolved. Many issues such as how to define the syntax and semantics of models, how to represent and store models and how to trace model evolution should be addressed properly. In this thesis, the focus is on model transformations and the open problems related to it. In particular, how to compare models, how to trace model evolution (with as a goal to undo and redo model changes), how to deal with meta-model evolution, and ultimately with semantics evolution are explored. For each issue, we analyze problems, and propose some solutions. We use small case studies to make issues more concrete. All case studies are developed in AToM3 (A Tool for Multi-formalism and Meta-Modeling), developed in the Modeling, Simulation and Design Lab (MSDL) in the School of Computer Science of McGill University.
