Abstract: As models are elevated to first-class artifacts
within the software development lifecycle, the task of
construction and evolution of large-scale system models becomes a
manually intensive effort that can be very time consuming and
error prone. To address these problems, this dissertation
abstract presents a model transformation approach. There are
three main features of this research. First, tasks of model
construction and evolution are specified in a model
transformation language (called the Embedded Constraint
Language). Second, a core transformation engine (called C-SAW) is
used to perform model transformation in an automated manner by
executing the ECL transformation specification. Finally, testing
and debugging tools at the modeling level are provided to assist
in detecting errors in the model transformation.
