Abstract: | In recent years a great effort has been devoted to understanding the nature of model transformations. As a result, several
mechanisms to improve model transformation languages have been proposed. Phasing has been mentioned in some works as a rule
scheduling or organization mechanism, but without any detail. In this paper, we present a phasing mechanism in the context of rule-based transformation languages. We explain the structure and the behavior of the mechanism, and how
it can be integrated in a language. We also analyze how the mechanism promotes modularity, internal transformation composition
and helps to solve usual transformation problems. Besides, we show several examples of application to illustrate the usefulness
of the mechanism. |
