Expressive and Efficient Model Transformation with an Internal DSL of Xtend
Artur Boronat · 2018
Model transformation (MT) of very large models (VLMs), with millions of elements, is a challenging cornerstone for applying Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) technology in industry. Recent research efforts that tackle this problem have been directed at distributing MT on the Cloud, either directly, by managing clusters explicitly, or indirectly, via external NoSQL data stores. In this paper, we draw attention back to improving efficiency of model transformations that use EMF natively and that run on non-distributed environments, showing that substantial performance gains can still be reaped on that ground.
