The simplest kind of extension is to add, to an existing tool, new custom tabs that invoke extension programs for viewing the data in a novel way. However even this task is not simple and roughly speaking every advanced tool does this in its own way. The goal of this paper is to develop a unified method of adding new custom tabs for tools whose back-end is deployed on a data server, but the front-end is browser-based (HTML web pages). More precisely, adding custom tabs is considered, to define new views of data stored on the Data server. The instrument used in this paper will be the Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) designed for building precise Platform Independent Models (PIMs) for the described systems. The proposed extension method will be explained on a Deep Learning Lifecycle Data Management (DL LDM) task: first build a simple DL LDM base tool which is already practically usable, then add a PLUS component which permits the end-user to define new views of back-end data in a relatively simple way (without using the internal implementation of the base tool).

It consists of two major parts: the LDM Core Toola simple data logging tool; and an Extension Mechanism this mechanism allows the user to extend the simple LDM Core Tool to match their specific requirements. Current extensions support adding new visualisations for data stored on the server. Our approach allows the Core Tool to be a complete black box; we need only a metamodel denoting the logical structure of the stored data. By then specialising this metamodel we can define an Extension Metamodel which, when communicated to the tool through configuration, allows us to define and thus add the extensions.

The Notation Independent Business concepts metamodel is introduced. The approach offers a mapping between different business modeling notations which could be used for bridging BM tools and boosting the MDA approach 1 Modeling Problems An unambiguous and formal method how to describe some problem has been demanded always. A model of the problem is essential for [1]: • investigation and analysis, • unambiguous information exchange between people and computer systems, • development of a practical solution, using the problem model. Additionally a model must support measurement and comparison (both for simulation and in real environment), and should support version and change management during the model life cycle. To ensure now a successful business, an enterprise must integrate its information systems with partners and make the data exchange available. Today not only a simple data exchange but also more co...

The extension mechanism will be based on the metamodel specialization approach to DSL modeling tools introduced by authors. The main idea of metamodel specialization is that we, at first, define the Universal Metamodel (UMM) for a domain and then for each use case define a Specialized Metamodel. But for use in our new domain the specialization concept will be extended: we add a functional specialization where invoking an additional custom program at appropriate points of Core tool is supported.

The paper discusses the situation when different domain specific process languages need to be transformed to one target environment. A new approach based on domain specific mappings is proposed. First, the concept of virtual functional view on target metamodel is introduced which permits to describe the creation of target model elements at a higher level of abstraction by simple functions. Then mapping rule definition based on the virtual view is presented which provides in most cases a simple description how source model elements must be passed to these functions.

The method used is based on the metamodel specialisation approach for DSL modeling tools introduced by authors.

Using metamodels, different models and languages can be compared and transformed from one notation to another. Precise nature of metamodel-based models allows to simulate these models and execute in simulated or production environment. Research results are used in development of business process editors for UML Activity Diagram and BPMN modeling languages. Models created in these editors can be transformed from one to another using the MOdeling LAnguage (MOLA) transformation tool.

Especialmente, esa tensión ha tenido su reflejo en el marco jurídicoconstitucional de Navarra y del País Vasco. La Constitución de 1978 buscó una solución de integración en la Disposición Adicional Primera. El desarrollo de la Constitución y de los Estatutos de Autonomía ha dado un fuerte impulso jurídico a los llamados derechos históricos. Junto a ello, la historia ha ganado protagonismo como sujeto de legitimación política. La consecuencia ha sido que los nuevos Estatutos de Autonomía incorporen nuevos derechos históricos y destaquen la apelación a la historia como legitimación del autogobierno.

The transformation task involves complex, non-local matching of model elements. This paper contains the solution of the task using model transformation language MOLA. The MOLA solution uses higher-order transformation (HOT) to generate a part of the required MOLA program. The described HOT approach allows creating reusable, complex model transformation libraries for generic tasks without modifying an implementation of a model transformation language. Thus model transformation users which are not the developers of the language can achieve the desired functionality more easily.

The implementation of the model transformation language MOLA compiler to the L3 language is described in the paper. It is shown that L3 is a suitable low-level model transformation language for efficient implementation of pattern matching in MOLA. A rationale for the chosen compiler architecture is offered. The detailed description of mappings from MOLA to L3 is also given. Some general approach to the graphical language compiler development, such as model-driven compiling and debugging, is also sketched.
