In his study Mahdi Derakhshanmanesh builds on the state of the art in modeling by proposing to
integrate models into running software on the component-level without translating them to code.
Such so-called model-integrating software exploits all advantages of models: models implicitly
support a good separation of concerns they are self-documenting and thus improve
understandability and maintainability and in contrast to model-driven approaches there is no
synchronization problem anymore between the models and the code generated from them. Using
model-integrating components software will be easier to build and easier to evolve by just
modifying the respective model in an editor. Furthermore software may also adapt itself at
runtime by transforming its own model part.
