Language Enrichment for Resilient MDE

In Model-Driven Engineering, as in many engineering approaches, it is desireable to be able to assess the quality of a system or model as it evolves. A resilient engineering practice systematically assesses whether evolutions improve on the capabilities of a system. We argue that to achieve a systematic resilient model-driven engineering practice, resilience concepts should be first-class citizens in models. This article discusses how DREF, a formal framework defining resilience concepts, can be integrated with other modeling languages in order to pursue a resilient development process.
