“…-(6a) Language independence. Transformation reuse approaches can be language-independent (i.e., the reusable transformation can be written in any transformation language) or be specific for a transformation language (e.g., ATL [62] or graph transformation [37,47,71]).…”

“…In particular, generic MTs [71] are similar to concepts, but specifying relations between the type parameters is not possible, and there is limited support for adaptation [71]. In [47], the authors propose generic rules as a compact mechanism to specify modeling guidelines for Matlab/Simulink models. Generic rules can receive feature and class names as attributes, and make use of reflection to check the type of model elements.…”

Model transformations are essential elements of Model-driven Engineering (MDE) solutions, as they enable the automatic manipulation of models. MDE promotes the creation of domain-specific metamodels, but without proper reuse mechanisms, model transformations need to be developed from scratch for each new metamodel. In this paper, our goal is to understand whether transformation reuse across metamodels is needed by the community, evaluate its current state, identify practical needs and propose promising lines for further research. For this purpose, we first report on a survey to understand the reuse approaches used currently in practice and the needs of the community. Then, we propose a classification of

Esta es la versión de autor del artículo publicado en: This is an author produced version of a paper published in:Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming 83. 5-6 (2014) AbstractModel transformations are the heart and soul of Model Driven Engineering (MDE). However, in order to increase the adoption of MDE by industry, techniques for developing model transformations in the large and raising the quality and productivity in their construction, like reusability, are still needed.In previous works, we developed a reutilization approach for graph transformations based on the definition of concepts, which gather the structural requirements needed by meta-models to qualify for the transformations. Reusable transformations are typed by concepts, becoming transformation templates. Transformation templates are instantiated by binding the concept to a concrete meta-model, inducing a retyping of the transformation for the given meta-model. This paper extends the approach allowing heterogeneities between the concept and the metamodel, thus increasing the reuse opportunities of transformation templates. Heterogeneities are resolved by using algebraic adapters which induce both a retyping and an adaptation of the transformation. As an alternative, the adapters can also be employed to induce an adaptation of the meta-model, and in this work we show the conditions for equivalence of both approaches to transformation reuse.

“…For example, the VIATRA2 framework [1] supports generic rules where types can be rule parameters. MOFLON has also been extended with generic and reflective rules using the Java Metadata Interface [11]. These rules can receive string parameters that can be composed to form attribute or class names, and may contain nodes that match instances of any class.…”

Model-Driven Engineering promotes models as the principal artefacts of the development, hence model transformation techniqueslike graph transformation -become key enablers for this development paradigm. In order to increase the adoption of Model-Driven Engineering in industrial practice, techniques aimed at raising the quality and productivity in model transformation development are needed. Reusable Graph Transformation TemplatesIn this paper we bring elements from generic programming into graph transformation in order to define generic graph transformations that can be reused in different contexts. In particular, we propose the definition and instantiation of graph transformation templates whose requirements from generic types are specified through so-called concepts, as well as mixin layers that extend meta-models with the extra auxiliary elements needed by templates.
