For lecturers and educators, the book provides a layered repository of contents, starting from the basics of metamodelling in the first chapters, through specific issues such as trans-layer control or non-strict approaches, up to advanced topics such as universal powertyping or extensions to the object-oriented paradigm. The book also serves as an in-depth reference guide to features and technologies to consider when developing in-house software development methods or customising and adopting off-the-shelf ones. Software tool developers and vendors can benefit from the book by finding in it a comprehensive guide to the implementation of frameworks and toolsets for computer-aided software modelling and development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCesar Gonzalez-Perez\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior researcher in the application of information technologies in the management of cultural heritage at the Spanish National Research Council and was previously a researcher in the Department of Software Engineering at the University of Technology, Sydney.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrian Henderson-Sellers \u003c\/b\u003eis Director of the Centre for Object Technology Applications and Research and a professor at the University of Technology, Sydney.
