	abstract = {In order to handle complexity, model driven engineering aims at building systems by developing several models, where each model represents a specific concern of the system. In this context, designers need mechanisms to validate, synchronize and understand interactions between those perspectives. Model composition deals with these issues but remains a complex task. For these reasons, we believe that a strong traceability mechanism is a key factor to handle relationships between models and manage the complexity of the composition operation. This paper describes a generic approach to keep track of the model composition operation. We also define a traces generation process to adapt our proposal to any specific composition language. Finally, an example is presented to illustrate our contributions. {\textcopyright} Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015},

	abstract = {The model composition provides support to build systems based on a set of less complex sub-models. This operation allows managing complexity while supporting the modularity and reusability tasks. Due to the increase number of the involving models, their composition becomes a tedious task. For that, the need for maintaining traceability information is raised to help managing the composition operation. We propose in this work a graph-based model transformations approach, which aims to keep track of the model composition operation. Our objective is to capture traces in an automatic and reusable manner. Finally, a composition scenario is given to demonstrate the feasibility of our proposal. {\textcopyright} 2014 IEEE.},

	abstract = {Model composition is one of the important activities in model driven engineering, because complex systems are built based on several viewpoints. The composition operation is a tedious task, however, traceability not only provides us with the tool to comprehend its effects, but also helps us to better manage the operation itself. This paper suggests a traceability framework for the model composition operation based on aspect oriented modeling and graph transformation. The generated trace models conform to a generic metamodel that allows representing nested trace links. A merge specification case study is presented to illustrate our contribution. {\textcopyright} 2013 IEEE.},
