Evaluating Model Transformation Technologies - An exploratory case study

Abstract

Model transformation is one of the primary activities within model driven software engineering. Several model transformation languages have been proposed and implemented providing different approaches, programming paradigms, and tools to solve common tasks related to model transformations. While several of these languages exist, little guidance is provided to software industries to select a language that will suit their needs. This paper presents the results of a case study of exploring three model transformation technologies at a department of Ericsson AB. The findings of this study can be used when judging the applicability of a particular model transformation technology.
