Abstract :
The Mdel Driven Architecture (MDA) initiative formulated by the Object Management Group (OMG) is intended to support the development of software-intensive systems through the transformation of models to executable components and applications. Techniques and technologies that support rigorous definition of model transformations are required to realize the MDA vision. In this paper, we describe a technique for specifying pattern-based transformations of UML models consisting of class and interaction diagrams. The transformation specifications can be used to support systematic and verifiable transformations of UML models.
