| dc.description.abstract | In this work, we report about recent research on n-way model matching, originally published at the International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS) 2021. Model matching algorithms are used to identify common elements in input models, which is a fundamental precondition for many software engineering tasks, such as merging software variants or views. If there are multiple input models, an n-way matching algorithm that simultaneously processes all models typically produces better results than the sequential application of two-way matching algorithms. However, existing algorithms for n-way matching do not scale well, as the computational effort grows fast in the number of models and their size. We propose a scalable n-way model matching algorithm, which uses multi-dimensional search trees for efficiently finding suitable match candidates through range queries. We implemented our generic algorithm named RaQuN (Range Queries on N input models) in Java, and empirically evaluate the matching quality and runtime performance on several datasets of different origin and model type. Compared to the state-of-the-art, our experimental results show a performance improvement by an order of magnitude, while delivering matching results of better quality. | en |
