Model composition: MA and MB, in order to produce an
utput-intended model, MAB.
It is an important task in MDE (Model Driven Engineering)
Evolving design models
reconciling multi-view models (parallel development).
Actually, Merging is a “time-consuming, complicated, and error-prone

process” [Ton Mens];

Current composition tools are limited and closed to a set of particular

composition cases;

To overcome these shortcomings: We proposed an model architecture.

Model Matching Strategies
Default: Find the model correspondence between

component names;

Partial: Matches the elements according its syntactic

properties;

Complete: Comparison using syntactic and semantic

model properties;

Conclusion and future work

This paper introduced a flexible, component-based

architecture for supporting the development of model composition techniques;

The preliminary results have indicated that the proposed

architecture is able to support the development of composition tools for UML models.

The future investigations:
Do developers invest significantly more effort to develop a

new composition technique than derive one from MoCoTo-Arch?

How effective is MoCoTo to combine realistic, semantically

richer design models?
