Model-Based Development and Evolution of Information Systems

Abstract

We have so far in this book described the generic framework (described SEQUAL-Gen in Fig. 6.1) and quality of modelling languages in Chaps. 4 and 5 respectively. As indicate here, a number of specialisations have been made for different types of models.
