A segment-based approach for reconcilable model transformation

Abstract

Model transformation transforms a high level source model into the skeleton of a low level target model, thereafter developers continue to refine and concretize the skeleton. With the changing requirements, the source model will be consequently modified and such modification should be reflected incrementally in the refined target model. This paper presents an end-to-end segment-based reconcilable model transformation approach to identify the conflict between source model changes and target model changes and generate a new target model which accommodates all the changes if no conflict exists. The approach is experimented in three real transformation cases.
