Specific MEMO DSMLs

The following articles describe the domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) of which MEMO is composed. The publications discuss theoretical backgrounds of the languages, describe related design processes, and present complete language specifications, including meta models, additional constraints, and in-depth explanations of all modeling concepts.

Current Research and Future Directions

The following articles discuss directions into which future developments of MEMO is headed. In particular, this includes transfering the modeling method to a novel modeling paradigm—multi-level conceptual modeling—for which tool support is underway.
