Although well-established standards for creating metamodels such as the Meta-Object Facility exist, there is currently no mature foundation for specifying transformations among models. We propose a framework for the classification of several existing and proposed model transformation approaches. The classification framework is given as a feature model that makes explicit the different design choices for model transformations. Based on our analysis of model transformation approaches, we propose a few major categories in which most approaches fit.}, issn = {0018-8670}, doi = {10.1147/sj.453.0621}, url = {http://www-tr.watson.ibm.com/journal/sj/453/czarnecki.pdf}, attachments = {http://gsd.uwaterloo.ca/sites/default/files/ibm06.pdf}, author = {Krzysztof Czarnecki and Helsen, Simon} }
