Envisioning the Future of Collaborative Model-Driven Software Engineering

The adoption of Model-driven Software Engineering (MDSE) to develop complex software systems in application domains like automotive and aerospace is being supported by the maturation of model-driven platforms and tools. However, empirical studies show that a wider adoption of MDSE technologies is still an issue. One limiting factor is related to the limited support for collaborative MDSE. This paper reflects on research directions, challenges, and opportunities of collaborative MDSE.
