Metamodel Comparison and Model Comparison for Safety Assurance

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 8696))

Abstract

In safety-critical domains, conceptual models are created in the form of metamodels using different concepts from possibly overlapping domains. Comparison between those conceptual models can facilitate the reuse of models from one domain to another. This paper describes the mappings detected when comparing metamodels and models used for safety assurance. We use a small use case to discuss the mappings between metamodels and models, and the relations between model elements expressed in mappings. Finally, an illustrative case study is used to demonstrate our approach.
