Abstract Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) refers to the systematic use of models as first
class entities throughout the software development life cycle. Over the last few years, many …

Model transformations play a cornerstone role in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), as they
provide the essential mechanisms for manipulating and transforming models. The …

Industrial environments that make use of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) are starting to
see the appearance of very large models, made by millions of elements. Such models are …

Efficient processing of very large models is a key requirement for the adoption of Model-
Driven Engineering (MDE) in some industrial contexts. One of the central operations in MDE …

Context The performance and scalability of model transformations is gaining interest as
industry is progressively adopting model-driven techniques and multicore computers are …

Abstract Context The paradigm of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) has emerged as a new
area of software engineering that uses models to improve the productivity and reusability of …

Today, we recognize a discrepancy between design time models concentrating on the
desired behavior of a system and its real world correspondents reflecting deviations taking …

MDE has been successfully adopted in the production of software for several domains. As
the models that need to be handled in MDE grow in scale, it becomes necessary to design …

Several styles of model transformations are well-known and widely used, such as batch, live,
incremental and lazy transformations. While they permit tackling advanced scenarios, some …

Nowadays there exists a wide variety of model transformation languages. However, all of
them present limitations, mainly performance issues, when the complexity and size of model …
