Automated conceptual model clustering: a relator-centric approach

Giancarlo Guizzardi et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using reference conceptual models to capture information about complex and sensitive business domains. This paper proposes a model clustering technique using ontology-driven conceptual models and provides computational support for automating the identification of Relational Contexts and modular breakdown. The cognitive effectiveness of this approach is evaluated through an empirical study.
