In the paper we identify and discuss three major problems caused by this under-specification. We then propose a novel formal framework based on a graphical language: models are nodes and updates are arrows, and show how the three problems can be fixed.}, isbn = {978-3-642-13687-0}, attachments = {http://gsd.uwaterloo.ca/sites/default/files/ICMT10_0.pdf , http://gsd.uwaterloo.ca/sites/default/files/icmt10-last_0.ppt}, author = {Diskin, Zinovy and Xiong, Yingfei and Krzysztof Czarnecki} }
