Model driven approach to software engineering has been taken into consideration due to its impact on reducing complexities and improving the productivity in software development. Inconsistencies are considered as an important challenge in applying models. An inconsistency is occurred due to an undesired structural pattern in a model. The main drawback of current approaches to inconsistency resolution is not considering the difference between the repair and the spoiled model. This work presents a distance-based method for finding closest repair for the spoiled model. For this aim, models and metamodels are represented using directed graphs and graph transformation rules are employed for inconsistency resolution. A distance metric is defined based on the amount of changes in the graph corresponding to the model. Application of the proposed method to a set of BPMN models shows the improvement of the results.
