Towards Efficient Comparison of Change-Based Models (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Towards Efficient Comparison of Change-Based Models. https://doi.org/10.5381/jot.2019.18.2.aN

Comparison of large models can be time-consuming since every element has to be visited, matched, and compared with its respective element in other models. This can result in bottlenecks in collaborative modelling environments, where identifying diffe... Read More about Towards Efficient Comparison of Change-Based Models.
