Abstract

Multi-model utilisation is a common practice in many sciences, e.g. computer science. Coherence and co-evolution of models is however still an open problem. Multi-model approaches suffer however from the impedance mismatch due to differences in modelling languages. The collaboration approach is based on preservation of local models and on explicit association of derived sub-models. Each discipline has developed its specific know-how in modelling and model deployment. Models evolve in dependence on the progress of the research work. If a model or one of its sub-models has been exchanged with a team member then this evolution must also be applied to models of the partner if those sub-models are used elsewhere.

We develop a novel approach to multi-model development and utilisation, to common use and utilisation of models and modelling experience, to systematic assessment of models and systematic extraction of the potential and capacity of models for a research community, and to the co-evolution of model networks.
