Model transformation for end-user modelers with VMTL
Vlad Acreţoaie, Harald Störrle, Daniel Strüber · 2016
Models facilitate communication between software development project stakeholders by providing abstraction and precision. The Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) paradigm goes one step further, placing model transformation at the heart of software development [3]. Consequently, many model transformation languages (MTLs) and tools have been developed in the context of MDE. Their origin has shaped them profoundly: the application scenarios, modeling languages and model types considered, intended audience and their required capabilities, available tools, and the topics attracting scientific interest all bear the marks of MDE.
