Metamodeling: Some Application Areas in Information Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 5))

Abstract

Metamodeling is a powerful concept in the area of information systems that can be applied to solve a variety of tasks. The goal of the paper at hand is to provide an insight into these application areas. In order to do so first the basic thoughts behind metamodeling are introduced. Then it will be shown that there are applications in the context of the creation and composition of metamodels that have to be supported by “cross-sectional” aspects like visualization and simulation. Finally, we will describe some of these applications in more detail.
