Measuring the Abstraction Gain of Code-Near Models

Abstract

Abstraction in computer science is defined as the simplification of a system. Nevertheless, abstraction is also relevant in software engineering when we deal with Model Driven Development (MDD). What interest software engineers is whether a model represents a simplification of the code, generated by the model. Thus, it is of significant interest and importance to investigate the existence of abstraction gain from generated code to the model.
