CRISTAL: A practical study in designing systems to cope with change

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose a self-describing system to facilitate evolving system designs.

• The model is tested in a data intensive environment which changes over time.

• Description-driven modelling concepts are explained in detail.

• Evolving requirements are handled over extended timescales in the model.

• We examine the application of this self-describing system in practice.
