Abstract
Metamodel evolution is a significant problem in domain specific software development for several reasons. Domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) are likely to evolve much more frequently than programming languages and commonly used software formalisms, often resulting in a large number of valuable instance models that are no longer compliant with the metamodel. In this paper, we present the Model Change Language (MCL), aimed at satisfying these requirements.
