Towards an Alignment of Declarative Modelling and Model-to-Model Transformation Languages
Andreas Petter, Alexander Behring · 2009
Abstract: Declarative modeling and model driven software engineering seem to be two fields of research with completely different focus. However, the term “modeling” is used by both communities and both communities claim to use “declarative ” tech-niques. In this paper we give a small overview on some of the differences of both fields and present our model-to-model transformation language which brings together constraint solving, optimization, and model-to-model transformation. The language can be seen as an example how intuitively both communities can integrate to explore new applications. 1
