- Additional information
- The paper provides the first systematic and semantically-rigorous framework for model-transformation verification processes and techniques, based on classical first-order logic and Floyd-Hoare verification. It is original in introducing the concept of transformation invariants: these can substantially simplify verification, and have further applications to transformation bidirectionalisation. The framework, provided open source via de-facto industry standard for software tooling (Eclipse), has been used as the basis of the Eclipse Agile UML toolset (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.agileuml) verification facilities, to verify ATL and other MT specifications.
