Title
A Tridimensional Approach for Studying the Formal Verification of Model Transformations
Abstract
In Model Driven Engineering (MDE), models are first-class citizens, and model transformation is MDE's "heart and soul". Since model transformations are executed for a family of conforming models, their validity becomes a crucial issue. This paper proposes to explore the question of the formal verification of model transformation properties through a tri-dimensional approach: the transformation involved, the properties of interest addressed, and the formal verification techniques used to establish the properties. This work allows a better understanding of the expected properties for a particular transformation, and facilitates the identification of the suitable tools and techniques for enabling their verification.
