Predictive Change Impact Analysis},

abstract = {Today, model-driven software processes rely on
consistency management approaches to deal with the
multitude of inconsistencies that occur in large
systems. To resolve a detected inconsistency, the
software designer applies one resolution out of a set
of resolution options to each inconsistency. To do
so, the designer needs to understand the extent of
changes posed by each resolution. In this paper we
propose change impact analysis to support the
designer in this task. We present a simple algorithm
for predicting the impact of inconsistency
resolutions by checking the instantiation of
different meta-model relationships. Based on one
small case study, we demonstrate that our algorithm
provides a reasonable estimate for the number of
changes that actually will be applied. We demonstrate
the usage of impact analysis for inconsistency
resolution and make a first step towards a decision
support tool to help a software designer resolve
inconsistencies.},
