• AM3 Megamodeling (Global Model Management) tool:

Deal with the numerous modeling artifacts involved in the Model-Driven Engineering process

http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/am3/

• ATL Model-to-Model Transformation tool:

Implement the transformations composing the transformation chain

Provide an automated traceability support http://www.eclipse.org/m2m/atl/

• AMW Model Weaving tool:

Define, represent and handle traceability models http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/amw/

Proposed Solution: Complementary Tools

7

Proposed Solution: Complementary Tools

Megamodeling: represent references to models and relationships between them as models (called megamodels) Similar to a metadata repository on involved modeling artifacts

Generic & extensible solution applied to Traceability:

Potential Applications

• Inter-DSLs’ navigability

• Transformation Chain’s Traceability

• Tool Interoperability

• Etc

Solution

Higher Order Transformations or HOTs (Model Transformation)

GMM +Model Weaving

GMM +Model Weaving

Problem

• Create traceability links

• Represent traceability links

• Use traceability links (navigation)

Demo…

Starting from the ATL project providing the transformation chain (metamodels, transformations, inputs, etc)

Automated discovery of the megamodel from this ATL project

Launching of the transformations composing this chain using the discovered information Application of the automated traceability mechanism

Inter-model navigability from the result of the execution of the different transformations composing this chain
