Abstract :
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) has become a commonly used approach in software engineering. It promotes using models as primary artefacts and proposes methods for transforming them to desired software products. However, the specification of models and their transformations in MDE with current techniques is not user-friendly, due to excessive use of high level abstract models and textual representation of transformation languages. This paper briefly describes CONVErT, an approach and tool developed for user-centric transformation generation using concrete model visualisations.
