The language is designed to allow software tools to interpret specifications and automatically provide modeling environments. VLGM makes use of the object-orientated software engineering methodology. It defines four types of special classes and three types of relations between them. Data types and primitive types are allocated with several attributes to provide restrictions and enable consistency checks over models. As part of this research a software tool was designed. The tool provides a workspace for creating VLGM specifications. It interprets VLGM designs and provides a generic modeling environment. An XML document format is used as a persistence mechanism to promote reusability and sharing. Four case studies from different modeling domains are used to explore the applicability of the idea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Air Force Institute of Technology (U S ),Hakan Canli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1249449863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781249449867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Biblioscholar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.40d","brand":"Air Force Institute of Technology (U S )","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48872688877823,"sku":"9781249449867","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-visual-meta-language-for-generic-air-force-institute-of-technology-u-s-9781249449867","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
