Abstract

The MOF Query, View and Transformation RFP, issuedby OMG will result in a key enabling technology for model-drivendevelopment of large distributed systems. We havedesigned a transformation language which will meet the requirementsof this RFP, and several others besides. The languageis declarative and patterns based. Transformationdescriptions are explicitly reusable and modular. Rules thatmake up such descriptions may be aspect-driven, allowingfor transformations to be written to address semantic conceptsrather than structural features. This paper introducesthe language and its rationale, and shows how it is used tosolve a small but non-trivial MDA problem.
