Model metamorphosis
Torben Weis, Andreas Ulbrich, Kurt Geihs · IEEE Software · 2003
Model driven architectures (MDA) will become practical only if transformations from platform-independent to platform-specific models can be largely automated. Kafka, an extensible rule-based transformation language, and the Kase modeling tool enable automated, customized transformations that support round-trip engineering. With Kafka and Kase, developers can construct transformations without detailed knowledge of metamodels.
