Abstract
Induced by the last evolutionary step of systems, the virtualization and decentralization of systems is thriving leading to more complex systems. This causes the system behavior described by models to be split into additional models, creating gaps.
As a result, we present a novel approach that combines model artifacts describing the architecture of a system to recover the complete view of a system’s behavior. Our design relies on model transformation to create a consistent model basis to enable cross-model connections. The combining process is carried out in two phases. First, an expert defines cross-model connections mapping behavioral models onto structural models. Second, these connections are used to derive direct connections between behavioral models to bridge the gap that emerged.
