A Meta-model-Driven Tool Integration Development Process

The integration of languages and tools that are used for model-driven IT system development purposes is a hot research topic. Quite a number of model transformation and weaving approaches have been published rather recently that simplify the implementation of the needed integration components. Surprisingly, we are not aware of any publications that present comprehensive engineering processes for the systematic analysis, design, validation, and verification of the needed model coupling and translation services. This paper is a first contribution for the development of a standard modeling tool integration process with a main focus on the early scenario-driven requirements elicitation phases.
