Model-Driven Architecture and Model Transformations

In this chapter, we explore the area of model transformation presented as part of the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) framework. In particular, we describe the main MDA layers and recall the main benefits of using the MDA approach. Afterwards, we provide an overview of the different kinds of MDA transformations as well as the different applications of model transformations. Finally, we study the most important model transformation languages and tools.
