Title Using Megamodeling to Improve Industrial Adoption of Complex MDE Solutions

Abstract Companies formalize their software processes as a way of
organizing their development projects. As each project has its own
requirements and objectives, a family of processes is required in practice,
in order to ensure that each project is handled appropriately. This family
may be a collection of predefined processes, but can also be automatically
generated by tailoring a general process to a project's context which
requires formalization and tool support to be successful. Model-driven
engineering provides a formal framework for defining the models and
transformations required for automated process tailoring, but various types
of models must be specified and evolved, limiting the industrial adoption of
this approach. To address this problem, in this paper we propose a megamodel
for automated process tailoring. Megamodeling provides an integrating
framework for modeling in the large, including the definition and evolution
of all models and transformations required for tailoring while hiding
complexity. We report the application of our approach to the software
development process of Rhiscom, a small Chilean company.
