MODEL VERSIONING IN CONTEXT OF LIVING MODELS

In this paper we present an approach of Model Versioning and Model Repository in context of Living Models view. The idea of Living Models is a step forward from Model Based Software Development (MBSD) in a sense that there is tight coupling between various artifacts of software development process. These artifacts include System Models, Test Models, Executable artifacts etc. We explore the issues of storage (import/export) of model elements into repository, inputs of cross link information, version management and system analysis. The modeling environment in which these issues will be discussed is a heterogeneous modeling environment, where different models types and different modeling tools are used in the development process. An overview of the tool architecture is also presented.
