On-line Resources

  • Clafer Model Wiki - Learning Clafer Section
    Contains resources for learning Clafer: concept modeling tutorial, guidelines for feature modeling, two interactive assignments ("Train Station Layout" and "Traffic Lights" domain modeling tutorials), a mini-tutorial about modeling directed graph reachability, and micro- and macro- modelling patterns.
  • Clafer Model Wiki - Clafer Usage Scenarios
    Contains many large and small example models from product-line architecture modeling, multi-objective optimization of product lines, variability modeling, domain modeling, security modeling, model transformation, metamodeling, and a few examples used in tool demostrations.
  • Backend compatibility matrix
    Provides versions in which support for a given language feature was added to Alloy-based and Choco-based backends.
