Presentation: "Practical MDA: Model-to-Model Transformation with QVT"

Time: To be announced

Location: To be announced

Abstract:

While many think of MDA as just a way of separating Platform Independent Models (PIMs) and Platform Specific Models (PSMs), and then generating code from PIMs, the real advantage lies in model-to-model transformation, code generation being one kind of transformation. Working only in the PIM and generating code from it is not very practical and lacks flexibility. A different solution is needed.

In this session you will see how model-to-model transformation using Query View Transformation (QVT) and Object Constraint Language (OCL2) works. What are the benefits with this approach? How can you achieve true inter- and intra-model traceability between PIMs and PSMs to get around the limitations of model-synchronization?
