  • Description: Models have long become an integral part of many system development activities. In particular, research in the field of Model Driven Engineering (MDE) strives to facilitate problem-oriented creation of complex systems. To this end, the use of graphical (diagram) notations is an important cornerstone, providing users with an intuitive way of interacting with models and taking advantage of wider areas of cognitive capability than possible through purely text-based approaches. However, contrary to these underlying goals, the support of such graphical notations through appropriate tools is still believed to be not optimal, with the usability of such tools being low, thus causing bad Modeling Experience. This is accompanied by new trends in productivity at large, such as the desire to work collaboratively and in a distributed fashion. From this, we saw a need for the conceptualization and development of a graphical editing framework that works on premises different to previous ideas. Following the Design Science Research paradigm, anchored on recent work from other research groups, a modular and flexible concept is presented which strives to remove as much limits as possible that are traditionally given by the user interface – and thus imposed on the user – based on the definition of the supported modeling notation. This concept is also demonstrated by use of an executable, vertical prototype, which is furthermore used for evaluating the performance and bottlenecks imposed by the concept and its implementation. ; Modelle sind seit langer Zeit ein wichtiger Bestandteil in Systementwicklungsprozessen. Insbesondere die Forschung und Entwicklung im Bereich der Modellgetriebenen Entwicklung (MDE) zielt darauf ab, einen problemorientierten Ansatz zur Umsetzung komplexer Systeme zu schaffen. Eine tragende Säule dieses Forschungsgebiets ist die Verwendung grafischer / diagrammbasierter Notationen, die dem Benutzer eine besonders intuitive Interaktion mit dem Modell ermöglichen und dabei kognitive Fähigkeiten nutzen, welche ...
