“…Initially, we investigated the use of tools like HUTN (Human Usable Textual Notation) [31] or Anti-Yacc [19] which are capable of generating text grammars from specic MOF-based repositories. Nevertheless, we decided not to use them since they do not permit a detailed customization of the generated language and they provide concrete notations merely suitable for object-oriented languages.…”

Model-Driven Engineering (or MDE) is an emerging approach for system development which refers to the systematic use of models as primary engineering artifacts throughout the engineering lifecycle. MDE puts emphasis on bridges between dierent working contexts and on the integration of bodies of knowledge dierently developed. We discuss the mutual advantages that the integration of MDE and Abstract State Machines (ASMs) would provide: MDE can gain rigour and preciseness, while ASMs get a standard abstract notation and a general framework for a wide tool interoperability.

“…We believe that there are sufficient particular requirements and properties of a model to text transformation, such as templating and boilerplating, that a specialised technology be used. One such technology is Anti-Yacc [7].…”

Abstract. In this paper we explore the issue of transforming models to models, an essential part of the OMG's Model Driven Architecture (MDA) vision. Drawing from the literature and our experiences implementing a number of transformations using different technologies, we explore the strengths and weaknesses of the different technologies and identify requirements for a transformation language for performing the kind of model-to-model transformations required to realise the MDA vision.

“…To this end, initially, we investigated the use of tools like HUTN (Human Usable Textual Notation) [9] or Anti-Yacc [7] which are capable of generating text grammars from specific MOFbased repositories. Nevertheless, we decided not to use them since they do not permit a detailed customization of the generated language and they provide concrete notations strongly reflecting the object-oriented nature of the MOF meta-language, while ASM is not an object-oriented formalism (even though it can model OO concepts).…”

This paper reports our experience in exploiting the metamodelling approach of model-driven language engineering to define a standard modelling language for the Abstract State Machines (ASMs) formal method, and develop a general framework (ASMETA) for a wide interoperability of ASM tools in a model-driven development context. We describe the requirements to fulfill and the design/-implementation/validation/tools development steps necessary to support such a language engineering life cycle. We finally discuss the benefits/limits of a model-driven language engineering approach with respect to traditional techniques primarily used for the same goal.
