AB  - Views are key concepts of domain-specific modeling in order 
to provide specific focus of the designers by abstracting 
from unnecessary details of the underlying abstract model. 
Usually, these views are represented as models themselves 
(view models), computed from the source model. However, the 
efficient maintenance of views when the source model changes 
is challenging, as recalculation from scratch has to be 
avoided to achieve scalability.

In the paper, we propose an approach to define view models in 
a highly automated way, based on declarative model queries. 
The views are automatically populated in accordance with the 
lifecycle of regular model elements - however, their 
existence is entirely bound to the underlying abstract model. 
This means that view models are automatically and 
incrementally maintained. Our contribution can also be 
interpreted as extending the concepts of derived features to 
derived objects, specified and maintained by incremental 
queries.
