<div><font face="courier new, monospace">SCOPE</font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace"> The essential element of multi-paradigm modeling is the use of explicit and </font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">heterogeneous models throughout. This leads to a framework with omnipresent models. </font></div>
<div><font face="courier new, monospace">Some represent the syntax of formalisms used for modeling, others are used to model the </font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">transformations that represent the operational semantics, as well as model-to-model </font></div>
<div><font face="courier new, monospace">transformations for inter-formalism transformation. Moreover, others are used to model </font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">the composition of models or even to model the composition of modeling formalisms. </font></div>
<div><font face="courier new, monospace">These models are then used to facilitate generative tasks in a language engineering space, </font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">such as evolving a domain specific modeling formalism as its requirements change, but also </font></div>
<div><font face="courier new, monospace">in a tool engineering space, such as automatic generation of integrated development </font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">environments. The use of ubiquitous explicit models during the whole system design </font></div>
<div><font face="courier new, monospace">process, from modeling formalism definition to system implementation, allows multiple </font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">types of analyses at various levels with great benefits in terms of performance, cost-</font></div>
<div><font face="courier new, monospace">effectiveness, safety, etc.</font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace"> </font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">---------------------------------------------------------</font><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">---------</span><br>
