Metamodeling: An Emerging Representation Paradigm for System-Level Design

Editor's note:The use of metamodeling in system design allows abstraction of concepts germane to a number of varying modeling domains, and provides the ability of exploiting meta-information for a variety of system design tasks such as analysis, verification, synthesis, and test generation. This article provides an overview of emerging metamodeling techniques and their applications.—Tim Cheng, IEEE Design & Test editor in chief
