Description
Recent works in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) advocate the need for more flexibility in modelling environments by relaxing the conformance relation between a model and its metamodel. Most of the current works on flexibility only focus on the creation of the concrete syntax, leaving out important considerations about the development of the abstract syntax. Different approaches to relaxing the conformance relation between a model and a metamodel exist, but no one has so far endeavoured to build a unified vision of the different dimensions that flexibility could comprise. This paper is an attempt to define such a unified view of flexibility in MDE, focusing on the conformance relation problem.
