Motivation and Objectives Transformations of artefacts like models, schemata, programs,
or software architectures provide a uniform and systematic way to express
and reason about the evolution of software systems. For example, in the
context of forward engineering, the transition between different
abstraction levels (like analysis, design, and implementation) can be described
in terms of transformations, like refinement relations or automatic
generation of models or code. In reverse engineering, transformations
are used to build abstractions from implementations, e.g., by detecting
design pattern or clichés. Within one level, transformations can be used
for expressing refactoring and evolution of models
or dynamic reconfiguration of architectures.
This workshop aims at providing a forum for the discussion
of transformational techniques in software evolution, with particular focus
on approaches that are generally applicable throughout the software development
life-cycle.
We solicit submissions based on any approach to transformation
of structures (not only graph transformation),
or papers comparing different approaches.
More specific problems that shall be discussed on the basis
of these general approaches include
Reiko
Heckel (reiko@upb.de)
Tom Mens (tommens@vub.ac.be)
Michel Wermelinger (mw@di.fct.unl.pt)
The workshop is planned as a mixture of two invited talks, brief
presentations of position papers, and discussion. Invited talks will be
given by Stuart Kent and
Michael Löwe.
A volume of the Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
(ENTCS) containing revised
versions of all accepted papers will be prepared and distributed
during the workshop. Papers should be sent in pdf or postscript format to
Reiko Heckel (reiko@upb.de)
with a CC to
Tom Mens (tommens@vub.ac.be)
and Michel Wermelinger (mw@di.fct.unl.pt).
Please include in the body of the e-mail the authors' names, addresses,
affiliations and the paper's title and abstract.
