On Executable Meta-Languages applied to Model Transformations
In: Model Transformations In Practice Workshop, Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Domain specific languages for model transformation have recently generated
significant interest in the model-driven engineering community. The
adopted QVT specification has normalized some scheme of model transformation
language; however several different model transformation language
paradigms are likely to co-exist in the near future, ranging from
imperative to declarative (including hybrid). It remains nevertheless
questionable how model transformation specific languages compare
to more general purpose languages, in terms of applicability, scalability
and robustness. In this paper we report on our specific experience
in applying an executable meta-language to the model transformation
field.
