Abstract:
In this paper, we identify model transformation specification and design patterns, which support the property of transformation bidirectionality: the ability of a single specification to be applied either as a source-to-target transformation or as a target-to-source transformation. In contrast to previous work on bidirectional transformations (bx), we identify the important role of transformation invariants in the derivation of reverse transformations, and show how patterns and invariants can be used to give a practical means of defining bx in the UML-RSDS transformation language.
