In the area of model-driven engineering, model transformations are proposed as the
technique to systematically manipulate models. For increasing development productivity as …

Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) are now developed for a wide variety of domains to
address specific concerns in the development of complex systems. When engineering new …

The complexity of cyber–physical systems (CPSs) is commonly addressed through complex
workflows, involving models in a plethora of different formalisms, each with their own …

Large and complex meta-models such as those of Uml and its profiles are growing due to
modelling and inter-operability needs of numerous stakeholders. The complexity of such …

Abstract Model transformations are precious and effortful outcomes of Model-Driven
Engineering. As any other artifact, transformations are also subject to evolution forces. Not …

In many domains such as telecom, aerospace and automotive industries, engineers rely on
Domain Specific Modeling Languages (DSML) to solve the complex issues of engineering …

In Model Driven Engineering (MDE), models are first-class citizens, and model
transformation is MDE's" heart and soul". Since model transformations are executed for a …

Abstract Domain-specific modelling languages are normally defined through general-
purpose meta-modelling languages like the MOF. While this is satisfactory for many model …

Within the Model-Driven Engineering paradigm, software development is based on the
definition of models providing different views of the system to be constructed and model …

In this paper we present some of the key issues involved in model transformation
specification and testing, discuss and classify some of the existing approaches, and …
