				This is a complex scenario of management of "systems of systems". 
				It uses many features of <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/AMMA">AMMA</a> 
				(ATLAS Model Management Architecture) to interoperate between
				different views of the same system. <br/>
				This example uses a framework that deals with System Architecture <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_architecture">(SA)</a>
				 called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DODAF">DoDAF</a> <a href="#dodaf">[1]</a> (Department of 
				Defense Architecture Framework).<br/>
				It uses different types of matching transformations to produce weaving models that capture the 
				overlapping concepts of the different views of the same system. <br/>
				This example is the work of a Master thesis <a href="#albin">[2]</a> . 
				Additional documentation is available in the source files.

			<h4>Summary of files</h4>
				
			The "executeAllChain.xml" Ant Task executes a set of transformations:
			- to execute only a single step, the rules in the first Ant task can be commented;
			- it contains two examples: the complete DoDAF example and a simple illustrative example ("simpleTest") . <p/>		
									
			The "example" folder contains the sample models and the generated models:
			<ul class="midlist">			
			<li >ATLmodel-XXXXX.ecore are the ATL models (the corresponding ATL files are in the "transformation" folder).</li>
			<li >mw_refined_matchXXXX.amw are the weaving models produced after the filtering step. 
			They can be opened with AMW.</li>
			<li>mw_refined_matchXXXX.amw.prop are the configuration files for weaving models.</li>
			<li>propagation_modelXXXX.ecore are the models with the cartesian product of elements from a left and right views.</li>
			<li>sample_DoDAF-XXX.ecore are the set of sample models.</li>
			<li>sampleSV5_fromXXX.ecore are the result of the execution of the generated transformations.</li>
			</ul>
			<p/>
			
			The "metamodel" folder contains the set of metamodels:
			<ul class="midlist">			
				<li>the DoDAF Views metamodels in KM3 and Ecore.</li>
				<li>ATL metamodel in KM3 and Ecore, and the corresponding TCS (Textual Concrete Syntax) for extraction.</li>
				<li>"Propagation graph" metamodel in Ecore and KM3.</li>
				<li>Weaving metamodel "mmw_core_match.ecore".</li>
			  </ul>
			<p/>
			The "transformation" folder contains the set of the transformation:
			<ul class="midlist">
			<li>AMW2ATL.atl generates transformation models from weaving models</li>
			<li>Filter_SF_amw.atl generates the weaving model.</li>
			<li>SimplePropagationGraph.atl generates the propagation graph.</li>
			<li>OV5_2_SV5.atl, SV4_2_SV5.atl and OV5&SV4_2_SV5.atl are the transformations generated with Model Integration Process.</li>
			 </ul>
			<p/>
			The "simpleTest" folder contains all files with a simple illustrative example of the Model Integration process between two metamodels.
			<p/>
			This example uses a beta version of the ATL compiler. Instructions about how to install it are available <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Examples_HowTo">here</a>.
