Realistic problems, however, call for suitable techniques to guarantee scalability. For instance, many domains exhibit a hierarchical structure that can be exploited conveniently. This is particularly evident for composition associations of models. We propose an explicit representation of such structured models and a methodology that exploits it for the description and analysis of model- and rule-based systems. The approach is presented in the framework of rewriting logic and its efficient implementation in the rewrite engine Maude and is illustrated with a case study. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01055150/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01055150/file/61170002.pdf %L hal-01055150 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01055150 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-LNCS-6117 %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-WG6-1 %~ IFIP-FORTE %~ IFIP-FMOODS %~ IFIP-2010
