“…In our approach we can reason both at the specification and operational levels. In [6], the authors rely on completely relational transformation units and infer the order of execution by studying their dependencies. They use attribute grammars as (uni-directional) transformation language.…”

Abstract. Model-to-model transformation is a central activity in Model-Driven Engineering that consists of transforming models from a source to a target language. Pattern-based model-to-model transformation is our approach for specifying transformations in a declarative, relational and formal style. The approach relies on patterns describing allowed or forbid-den relations between two models. These patterns are compiled into oper-ational mechanisms to perform forward and backward transformations.Inspired by QVT-Relations, in this paper we incorporate into our framework the so-called check-before-enforce semantics, which checks the existence of suitable elements before creating them (i.e. it promotes reuse). Moreover, we enable the use of keys in order to describe when two elements are considered equal. The presented techniques are illustrated with a bidirectional transformation between Web Services Description Language and Enterprise Java Beans models.

“…Their transformations only contain injective functions to ensure bidirectionality, and if an attribute can take several values one of them is chosen randomly. Finally, in [4] attribute grammars are used as transformation language, where the order of execution of rules is automatically calculated according to the dependencies between attributes.…”

Esta es la versión de autor de la comunicación de congreso publicada en: This is an author produced version of a paper published in: Abstract. Pattern-based model-to-model transformation is a new approach for specifying transformations in a declarative, relational and formal style. The language relies on patterns describing allowed or forbidden relations between two models, which are compiled into operational mechanisms to perform forward and backward transformations. In this paper, we extend the approach for handling attribute conditions expressed in some suitable logic, adapt the operational mechanisms based on graph transformation to relax attribute handling by constraint solving, and discuss heuristics for the compilation of patterns into rules.

“…There are already attempts to use attribute grammars in model-driven engineering: [13] shows that attribute grammars can be used for model transformations. The authors lift the source model to a textual form of the abstract syntax and transform it using a socalled evaluator into another textual abstract syntax describing the target model.…”

Modeling languages provide a powerful technique for describing domainspecific concepts and their relationships. Since the syntactical structure is determined by a meta-model, expressions can be defined on the meta layer and evaluated for arbitrary instances. Currently, meta-modeling standards lack an easy way for defining rules capable of dynamically examining the behavior of a model. In this paper we discuss a new approach that links meta-modeling with wellunderstood methods from the field of compiler construction in order to express semantic constraints and perform data-flow calculations on model instances. We show how our approach can be used to analyze and validate business processes and specify further use cases like e.g. the calculation of model metrics.
