However, state-of-the-art meta-modeling techniques prefer design-time modeling, which results in a heavy usage of class sometimes unnecessary static subtyping. Although this approach benefits from clear-cut object-oriented design principles, it also seals the model repository for further dynamic extensions. In this paper, a dynamic multi-level modeling approach is introduced that enables dynamic subtyping through a more relaxed partial instantiation mechanism. The approach is demonstrated on a simple sensor network example.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {11}, number = {1}, year = {2017}, pages = {86 - 90}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10006273}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/121}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 121, 2017}, }
