A flexible operation-based infrastructure for collaborative model-driven engineering

Current engineering practices to create complex systems rely on highly interdisciplinary teams, potentially globally distributed, working with heterogeneous artifacts. For instance, in a robotics project, collaboration from multiple engineers across different domains such as mechanical, electronic, and software is required. However, achieving proper collaboration to correctly and efficiently develop complex systems is not a trivial activity. The artifacts developed in each domain, usually represented as models, use different structures (e.g., metamodels) and are managed in different tools, but somehow related to each other.
