Abstract

This paper explores the use of table-based representation for artifacts occurring in model-driven development as opposed to graph-based representation. As an example for table-based representation of models, we explain how views on object interaction that are traditionally represented as UML sequence or communication diagrams can be realized by spreadsheet queries.
