“…Composition of graph transformations can be achieved by using controlled or programmed graph transformation, such as sequencing, branching or looping. For instance, Fujaba [22] uses story diagrams for this purpose, while VIATRA [23] uses abstract state machines. In Fujaba, transformations are implemented as method bodies, so composition of transformations can be achieved by performing method calls.…”

Abstract. In Model-Driven Engineering, a software development process is a sequence of manipulation tasks that are applied to models, where model transformations play a relevant role. MOMENT (MOdel manageMENT) is a framework that is integrated in the Eclipse platform. MOMENT provides a collection of generic set-oriented operators to manipulate EMF models. In this paper, we present the model transformation mechanism that is embodied by the ModelGen operator. This operator uses the term rewriting system Maude as transformation engine and provides support for traceability. ModelGen has been defined in an algebraic specification so that we can use formal tools to reason about transformation features, such as termination and confluence. Furthermore, its application to EMF models shows that formal methods can be applied to industrial modeling tools in an efficient way. Finally, we indicate how the ModelGen operator provides support for the QVT Relations language in the MOMENT Framework.

“…The tools may be domain-specific or general-purpose, and tool composition frameworks facilitate tool interoperability. Several tool integration patterns have been developed and used in complex toolchains [10,29,31,5]. Tool chains may support collaborative work, either directly (when a multitude of developers is assisted by the framework, in real-time, synchronously), or indirectly (when the collaboration is more asynchronous).…”

International audienceWhen a project is realized in a globalized environment, multiple stakeholders from different organizations work on the same system. Depending on the stakeholders and their organizations, various (possibly overlapping) concerns are raised in the development of the system. In this context a Domain Specific Language (DSL) supports the work of a group of stakeholders who are responsible for addressing a specific set of concerns. This chapter identifies the open challenges arising from the coordination of globalized domain-specific languages. We identify two types of coordination: technical coordination and social coordination. After presenting an overview of the current state of the art, we discuss first the open challenges arising from the composition of multiple DSLs, and then the open challenges associated to the collaboration in a globalized environment

“…In [39,10], a plug-in for flexible and incremental consistency management in Fujaba is presented. The plugin is specified using story diagrams [17], which may be seen as a UML-inspired notation for graph rewrite rules.…”

A graph-based algorithm for consistency maintenance in incremental and interactive integration tools

Development processes in engineering disciplines are inherently complex. Throughout the development process, the system to be built is modeled from different perspectives, on different levels of abstraction, and with different intents. Since state-ofthe-art development processes are highly incremental and iterative, models of the system are not constructed in one shot; rather, they are extended and improved repeatedly. Furthermore, models are related by manifold dependencies and need to be maintained mutually consistent with respect to these dependencies. Thus, tools are urgently needed which assist developers in maintaining consistency between inter-dependent and evolving models. These tools have to operate incrementally, i.e., they have to propagate changes performed on one model into related models which are affected by these changes. In addition, they need to support user interactions in settings where the effects of changes cannot be determined automatically and deterministically. We present an algorithm for incremental and interactive consistency maintenance which meets these requirements. The algorithm is based on graphs, which are used as the data model for representing the models to be integrated, and graph transformation rules, which describe the modifications of the graphs to be performed on a high level of abstraction.
