@conference {118, title = {Classification of Model Transformation Approaches}, booktitle = {2nd OOPSLA{\textquoteright}03 Workshop on Generative Techniques in the Context of MDA}, year = {2003}, address = {Anaheim, CA, USA}, abstract = {The Model-Driven Architecture is an initiative by the Object Management Group to automate the generation of platform-specific models from platform- independent models. While there exist some well-established standards for modeling platform models, there is currently no matured foundation for specifying transformations between such models. In this paper, we propose a possible taxonomy for the classification of several existing and proposed model transformation approaches. The taxonomy is described with a feature model that makes the different design choices for model transformations explicit. Based on our analysis, we propose a few major categories in which most model transformation approaches fit.}, url = {http://www.softmetaware.com/oopsla2003/czarnecki.pdf}, author = {Krzysztof Czarnecki and Helsen, Simon} }
