Keeping Models and Code in Sync: Roundtrip Engineering for Tactical Domain-Driven Design
Weixing Zhang, Mario Herb, Wai Chung Dorothy Cheng +4
Domain-Driven Design gives teams a shared vocabulary for complex business logic, but that vocabulary only stays useful as long as the model and the code agree with each other. In p…
Can LLMs Learn and Apply Multi-Level Modelling Semantics? A First Empirical Study
Yuhong Fu, Weixing Zhang, Bowen Jiang +3
The paper empirically evaluates whether commercial large language models can generate correct multi-level models, finding they achieve reasonable syntactic accuracy but only partia…
Augmentation with Dilution: A Large-Scale Empirical Study of Human Contributor Ecosystems After AI Coding Agent Adoption
Weixing Zhang, Bowen Jiang, Anne Koziolek
AI coding agents are penetrating open-source software development at an unprecedented pace, yet existing research predominantly treats human contributors as a static backdrop rathe…
LLM4MTLs: Automated Generation and Empirical Evaluation of Model Transformation Languages
Bowen Jiang, Nathan Hagel, Haowei Cheng +6
Model transformation languages (MTLs) are domain-specific languages for transforming models conforming to a given metamodel into other models, including textual models such as sour…
Two-Level vs. Multi-Level Modelling: An Empirical Study of Cascading Maintenance Burden
Yuhong Fu, Weixing Zhang, Bowen Jiang +5
When a core definition changes, every dependent artefact must be updated, a cascading problem central to software maintenance. In Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), the dominant two-l…
Domain-Driven Design in Practice: A Mining Study of Maintenance and Evolution in Open-Source Repositories
Weixing Zhang, Bowen Jiang, Yuhong Fu +3
Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is an influential software development methodology that structures software around business domain complexity through tactical building blocks such as En…
