Programming language criteria for model transformation evaluation

“…Several researches [2,10,11,1,12,13,14,5,15,16,17,18,19] have been studied in the literature in which, authors introduced different methods for comparing, evaluating, and classification of model transformation approaches. Each research has employed different case studies to serve as a proof of effectiveness of its method.…”

“…Another related work is that of Varró et al [11] in which the authors report the result of subjective evaluation on graphbased model transformation tools in the Transformation Tool Contest in 2007. Lano et al [1] provided a unified semantic treatment of model transformations, independent of any specific transformation language. The authors evaluated their framework by comparing the specifications of QVT-R, ATL, VIATRA, UML-RSDS, and Kermeta on three case studies including quality improvement, UML to relational database mapping, and tree to graph transformation.…”

“…Model transformations were used to generate various artifacts from the models automatically in general, and to transform models in a certain abstraction level to another model in different abstraction level in particular. The models may be either generated using graphical languages such as UML, or may be produced using textual notations such as programming languages or formal specification languages [1]. Applying model transformation, one can improve the quality of the models, as well as perform refining, refactoring, and migrating on models [2].…”
