Abstract

The raise of the abstraction level of programming languages has resulted in the usage of models and model transformations in software development processes. As a consequence of the usage of models as input to model transformation tools, there is a need for formal modeling languages and formal transformation definition techniques which can be employed to automatically translate between (and integrate) models. Therefore, a major focus of our research is on the formalization of modeling and model transformation in the generic formalism, Diagrammatic Predicate Logic (DPL). In this paper, we discuss a formalization approach to model transformation definitions based on DPL. Then, based on this formalization, some features of model transformations such as traceability, bidirectionality and compositionality are discussed.
