Model transformation is a crucial aspect of Model-Driven Software Development. With the help of model transformation, we can generate source code or other artifacts from software models. However, a recurring problem in software development is the fact that source and target models coexist and they evolve independently. In general, a modeled system is composed of several models that are often related to one another. Consequently, the related models will not be consistent anymore if one of them is altered in the development process. For that reason, a model synchronization method is necessiated to resolve inconsistency between the modified models. Performing synchronization manually can be an error prone task due to the number and complexity of model elements. In model-driven technologies, where processing is carried out as a series of model transformations, applying model transformations can also be a reasonable option for the reconciliation. This paper presents an approach that uses trace models and model transformations to facilitate incremental model synchronization.
