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

This paper defines a catalogue of patterns for the specification and design of model
transformations, and provides a systematic scheme and classification of these patterns …

Abstract Model transformation is one of the pillars of model-driven engineering (MDE). The
increasing complexity of systems and modelling languages has dramatically raised the …

Abstract Model transformation design patterns have been proposed by a number of
researchers, but their usage appears to be sporadic and sometimes patterns are applied …

Modelling is a fundamental activity in Software Engineering, and central to model-based
engineering approaches. It is used for different purposes, and so its nature can range from …

We investigate quality improvement in QVT operational mappings (QVTo) model
transformations, one of the languages defined in the OMG standard on model-to-model …

Abstract Model-driven engineering (MDE) is considered a well-established software
development approach that uses abstraction to bridge the gap between the problem space …

Model transformations are a central element of model-driven development (MDD)
approaches. The correctness, modularity and flexibility of model transformations is critical to …

Models, like other first-class artifacts such as source code, are maintained and may be
refactored to improve their quality and, consequently, one of the derived artifacts …

Designing a high quality model transformation is critical, because it is the pivotal mechanism
in many mission applications for evolving the intellectual design described by models. This …
