A posteriori operation detection in evolving software models

Highlights ► Detection of applications of composite operations in evolving software models. ► Automatic generation of detection rules from executable operation specifications. ► Real-world study showing that 70% of all applied composite operations can be detected. ► Performance analysis showing that detection algorithm scales well for large models.
