To cope with the increasing complexity of developing and maintaining modern(software) systems, multiple abstractions (models) of the same system can beestablished and used to allow different domain experts to collaborate andcontribute their respective expertise. This divide-and-conquer, model-basedapproach requires, however, support for a concurrent engineering process, i.e.,providing a means of checking, restoring, and ensuring the consistency of allinvolved and concurrently maintained models. The task of providing such supportis often referred to as consistency management.  Although there exist various approaches to consistency management andnumerous (industrial) case studies described in the literature on bidirectionaltransformations (bx), there is currently no uniform description of diverse butrelated industrial applications of model synchronisation and other forms ofconsistency management. This makes it challenging to detect similarities anddifferences related to requirements, constraints, applied techniques and tools.It is thus difficult to compare and transfer knowledge gained from (successful)projects to other bx approaches or even other bx tools for the same generalapproach.  In this paper, therefore, we propose a description language for envisionedscenarios in the problem domain of consistency management, as well as acomplementary description language for solution strategies in terms of methodfragments and method patterns in the solution domain of Model-DrivenEngineering (MDE). Our work is inspired by previous research in the bx and MDEcommunities, and is also based on our collective experience from over ten yearsof investigating a series of application scenarios in the industry automationsection together with Siemens AG as an industrial partner.
