Low-Code & Modeling publications analysis

Metadata and analysis of Low-Code and traditional Modeling publications from 2000 to October 2024.

Raw Data 

Extracted from Lens.org searching for documents with the searched term in their Title, Abstract, Keyword, or Field of Study. Note: the abstracts from the articles were removed to avoid copyright infringements.

• 'Low-Code.csv' : list of Low-Code publications retrieved with keywords "low-code" and "lowcode"
• 'mba.csv': list of MBA publications retrieved with keyword "Model-Based Architecure"
• 'mbe.csv': list of MBE publications retrieved with keyword "Model-Based Engineering"
• 'mda.csv': list of MDA publications retrieved with keyword "Model-Driven Architecure"
• 'mdd.csv': list of MDD publications retrieved with keyword "Model-Driven Development"
• 'mde.csv': list of MDE publications retrieved with keyword "Model-Driven Engineering"
• 'mdse.csv': list of MDSE publications retrieved with keyword "Model-Driven Software Engineering"
• 'models.csv': list of publications in all editions of the MODELS conference (extracted from DBLP) and downloaded from Lens.org
• 'models-c.csv': list of publications in all editions of the MODELS-C companion events (extracted from DBLP) and downloaded from Lens.org
• 'ecmfa.csv': list of publications in all editions of the ECMFA conference (extracted from DBLP) and downloaded from Lens.org

Cleaned Data and Visualizations

• 'RQ1.2.xlsx': cleaned data and visualizations for publication types and venues.
• 'RQ1.3.xlsx': classification of Low-Code articles in the following categories
  
  • users: use Low-Code in their solutions
  • solutions: propose solutions to improve Low-Code
  • platforms: propose Low-Code platforms
  • evolution: study the evolution of the Low-Code area
  • learning/teaching: study the teaching of Low-Code or its usage in teaching
  • others: do not belong to the other categories
  • discarded: unknown language by the authors
• 'RQ2.2.xlsx': traditional Modeling conferences held -- or schedule to be held-- in 2024 and their focus in Low-Code.
  
  • The CfP, Keynotes details, and other textual information copied from the events websites were removed from the file to avoid copyright infringements.

Code and Visualization

• 'Low-Code-analysis.ipynb'
  
  • Number of Low-Code publications per author and their h-index within the Low-Code field. 
  • Co-autorship graph of Low-Code authors.
  • Overlap of Low-Code and traditional Modeling authors 
  • Comparison of productiviness of authors in the Low-Code and the traditional Modeling fields. 
• 'LowCode_growth.ipynb'
  • Evolution of Low-Code and traditional Modeling paradigms.
• 'Keywords.ipynb'
  • Main keywords published in MODELS, MODELS-C, and ECMFA
    • Keywords are extracted from abstracts published in those conferences. We did not include the abstracts to avoid copyright infringements. Still, those can be downloaded from Lens.org using the list of articles provided in models.csv, models-c.csv, and ecmfa.csv.
