Model-Integrating Software Components Engineering Flexible Software
In his study, Mahdi Derakhshanmanesh builds on the state of the art in modeling by proposing to integrate models into running software on the component-level without translating them to code. Such so-called model-integrating software exploits all advantag

Foreword In software engineering, models are used to represent relevant knowledge about software systems. For instance, in the course of collecting requirements for a new system, the concepts of the application domain, the relevant workflows to be supported, and the main use cases may be modeled by diagrams in a precisely defined modeling language. In model-driven software development, these models are used to automatically construct large parts of the intended system using transformation and code generation tools. In general, a model is a goal-oriented description of something. It reduces reality to those parts that are relevant for the goal, and it allows drawing conclusions about the original system. Though (along this definition) code is also a model of computational processes, the community uses the term code for programs that are directly executable and the term model for more abstract design descriptions. A large body of knowledge has been accumulated over the last decades. This includes defining modeling languages (in their syntax, their constraints, and their semantics), representing, querying, and transforming models, as well as several powerful additional services to deal with models and meta-models. Given a technological modeling space which supplies all these capabilities, models can nowadays be used as first-c
