Englische Kurzfassung:
Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is a software engineering
paradigm using abstract models to describe systems which are then systematically transformed to concrete implementations.
Since model transformations are crucial for the success of MDE, several kinds of dedicated
transformation languages have been proposed. Hybrid languages combine the statefulness and the ability to define control
ow of imperative approaches with the raised level of abstraction of declarative ones.
However the low-level engines employed to execute transformations lead to an
impedance mismatch between specification and execution of model transformations which hampers debugging. Additionally, current approaches
lack of appropriate reuse mechanisms for resolving recurring transformation problems. Therefore, we propose a process-oriented specification
and execution of model transformations based on Transformation Nets,
a variant of Colored Petri Nets (CPNs). By using Transformation Nets,
the benefits of imperative and declarative approaches are combined, not
only for the specification of model transformations, but also for their execution by using CPNs themselves as a transformation engine.
Furthermore, Transformation Nets introduce a novel notation for implementing
transformation logic within transitions to foster reuse.
