Emerging Concepts and Trends in Collaborative Modeling: A Survey

2019

Abstract

Just as in other engineering disciplines, software engineering is well suited to collaboration; Having different perspectives and diverse experiences strengthens engineering projects. Software modeling is a fundamental aspect of software engineering and is becoming increasingly collaborative. Collaborative modeling approaches are maturing and related research is growing significantly. While surveys exist on collaborative modeling tools and research, they are aimed at academics and can be verbose. In this article, we conduct a research survey intended to provide practitioners and researchers an accessible and abstract at-a-glance perspective of emerging trends and directions in collaborative modeling. We complete a systematic literature review, which we crosscheck with existing surveys. To explicate trends in the last five complete years and overall trends, we perform concept extraction and domain analysis by analyzing abstracts. We visualize these trends in word clouds and trend charts, and provide insights. We hope this article helps spread awareness of collaborative modeling trends and future directions, and educates practitioners and researchers.
