A scalable model based approach for data model evolution: Application to space missions data models

Our work addresses the problem of data model evolution in a model-driven engineering setting. We focus on minimizing the impact of model evolution on the system development processes in the specific context on the space engineering area, where data models may involve thousands of concepts and relationships, and we investigate the performance of the model-based development (MBD) approach we propose for data model evolution over two space missions, namely PHARAO and MICROSCOPE.
