Resumen
Model transformations are a core activity in Model Driven Engineering. As a consequence, in the last years the MDE community has proposed several languages and tools to define and execute model transformations. Thanks to these efforts, we have now a relatively stable set of core technologies designers have started to use in their day to day work to manipulate models. This has confirmed the usefulness of these model transformation techniques but at the same time has raised new challenges, mainly linked to scalability and efficiency problems, that we must respond to in order to make sure model transformation becomes a technology mature enough to be used in real industrial scenarios. We believe the key innovation to solve these new challenges consists in providing different execution modes for the same model transformation, depending on its specific requirements and characteristics. This demo will present three new execution modes for the AtlanMod model-to-model Transformation Language (ATL) [2] addressing the mentioned challenges for the industrial adoption of model transformation. It is important to note that for the implementation of all these execution modes the syntax of the language does not need no be modified, which enables the reuse of existing transformations and the adoption by transformation developers.
