Proposed Design Notation for Model Transformation
Lukman Ab. Rahim, Sharifah Bahiyah Rahayu Syed Mansoor · Proceedings - Australian Software Engineering Conference/Proceedings · 2008
In developing software using model-driven approach, the key technique used is model transformation. Model transformation is part of a new approach in developing software called Model-Driven Architecture (MDA). Model transformation requires the development of transformation rules. Design of the transformation rules will allow the rules to be understood by people without the need to know the language to write the rules. This paper proposes a notation for designing the transformation rules. The abstract syntax, concrete syntax, semantics and well-formedness of the proposed notation are explained here. Examples and experience in using the notation are also given.
