On Executable Meta-Languages applied to Model Transformations
In: Model Transformations In Practice Workshop, Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Domain specific languages for model transformation have recently generated
significant interest in the model-driven engineering community.
The adopted QVT specification has normalized some scheme of model transformation language;
however several different model transformation language paradigms are likely to co-exist
in the near future, ranging from imperative to declarative (including hybrid). It remains
nevertheless questionable how model transformation specific languages compare to more general
purpose languages, in terms of applicability, scalability and robustness. In this paper we
report on our specific experience in applying an executable meta-language to the model
transformation field.
