Language-Independent Model Transformation Verification

چکیده
One hinderance to model transformation verification is the large number of different MT languages which exist, resulting in a large number of different language-specific analysis tools. As an alternative, we define a single analysis process which can, in principle, analyse specifications in several different transformation languages, by making use of a common intermediate representation to express the semantics of transformations in any of these languages. Some analyses can be performed directly on the intermediate representation, and further semantic models in specific verification formalisms can be derived from it. We illustrate the approach by applying it to ATL.

A framework for verification of model transformations
A model transformation verification task may involve a number of different transformations, from one or more of a wide range of different model transformation languages, each transformation may have a particular transformation style, and there are a number of different verification properties which can be verified for each language and style of transformation. Transformations may operate upon m...
متن کاملA Hybrid Meta-heuristic Approach to Cope with State Space Explosion in Model Checking Technique for Deadlock Freeness
Model checking is an automatic technique for software verification through which all reachable states are generated from an initial state to finding errors and desirable patterns. In the model checking approach, the behavior and structure of system should be modeled. Graph transformation system is a graphical formal modeling language to specify and model the system. However, modeling of large s...
متن کاملAction Semantics for Model Transformation Systems
Recently, the main trends in software engineering have been dominated by the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) [1] vision of the Object Management Group (OMG). According to MDA, software development will be driven by a thorough modeling phase where (i) first a platform independent model (PIM) of the business logic is constructed from which (ii) platform specific models (PSMs) including details of...
متن کاملRule Chains Coverage for Testing QVT-Relations Transformations
Traditional software testing techniques have been adapted to deal with the verification of model transformations. Black-box techniques have the benefit of simplicity as well as the advantage of being independent of the implementation language, and thus compatible with any model transformation language. Although this is important, the inherent complexity of metamodels may result in a significant...
