Abstract

Multilevel Modeling (MLM) conceptualizes software models as layered architectures of sub-models that are inter-related by the instance-of relation. Multilevel rearchitecting has received considerable attention, but little attention has been given to the context of the transformed structures. In this paper we focus on possible contexts in MLM rearchitecture. We analyze factors of accidental complexity in MLM, suggest quantitative measures for these factors, and show how they can be used for evaluating alternative MLM transformations of two-level models. The context-aware factors are now being implemented in an FOML MLM tool.
