Article Systematic Reviews in Model-Driven Engineering: a Tertiary Study(Hezârfen Havacılık ve Uzay Teknolojileri Enstitüsü, 2020) Akdur, Deniz; Demirörs, OnurTo cope with growing complexity of software-intensive systems, model-driven engineering (MDE) has become a widely used approach in the industry by providing many (potential) benefits with different purposes. Although there has been an increasing interest in conducting secondary studies among MDE researchers such as surveys, systematic mapping (SM) and systematic literature review (SLR), there have been no tertiary study to synthesize the findings from all these existing secondary studies, which also examines various characteristics of software modeling (e.g., purposes, benefits and challenges) as a meta-analysis. The objective of this paper is to investigate and understand the state-of-the-practices in MDE based on the modeling characteristics by presenting a tertiary study (i.e., a systematic review of systematic reviews). To this end, we collected the set of all the existing 64 secondary studies in this field using a well-defined search strategy. This article presents inputs for different modeling stakeholders to better understand and use different purposes, benefits, and challenges of MDE by aggregating consolidated findings on this approach.Conference Object Utilizing Modeling Approach Patterns in the Embedded Software Industry(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Akdur, Deniz; Demirörs, OnurTo cope with the growing complexity of software-intensive embedded system development, modeling is a widely used approach. The modeling approaches in the embedded software industry vary depending on many modeling characteristics (e.g., purpose, modeling rigor, medium type used, modeling stakeholder profile, etc.). In the light of our previous studies, we have identified modeling approach patterns of embedded software development projects and constructed a characterization model. This model not only identifies and defines modeling approach patterns of the stakeholder in embedded software development projects, but also gives recommendations for commonsense modeling practices. In this article, one of the application results of this characterization model, which was performed in Defense & Aerospace sector is presented. The model was successfully applied to the case, in which a series of both structured and semi-structured interviews with 17 embedded software professionals were conducted. The results show that identification of individual patterns provide insight for improvement both for individuals as well as larger units of operations such as projects and organizations.
