A general trend is to consider abduction as a backward deduction with some additional conditions, but there can be more than one kind of deduction. By adopting Makinson’s method to define deductive consequence relations, abduction is settled as a reverse

A Metamodel for SDL-2000 in the Context of Metamodelling ULF [PDF]
Today the syntax of many languages is defined by using context-free grammars. These syntax definitions suffer from a major drawback: grammars do not allow the definition of abstract, reusable concept definitions. Especially in families of related languages, where multiple languages often share the same concepts, this limitation leads to unnecessary ...

Mechanical MNIST: A benchmark dataset for mechanical metamodels [PDF]
Metamodels, or models of models, map defined model inputs to defined model outputs. Typically, metamodels are constructed by generating a dataset through sampling a direct model and training a machine learning algorithm to predict a limited number of ...

Aspect-oriented Metamodelling [PDF]
Summary: This paper shows how techniques devised for aspect-oriented modelling (AOM) can be used for aspect-oriented metamodelling. Metamodelling is an approach to language definition, which has been adopted by industry for defining modelling languages, in particular the Unified Modelling Language (UML), and involves the construction of an object ...
