Categorical Grammars for Processes Modeling

Author 1: Daniel-Cristian Craciunean

The diversity and heterogeneity of real-world systems makes it impossible to naturally model them only with existing modeling languages. For this reason, models are often constructed using domain specific modeling languages as metamodels, which must themselves be specified by meta-metamodels. In this paper we present a new approach, based on… Read full abstract & cite →
