Abstract

With the emerging concept of model transformation, information can be extracted from one or more source models to produce the target models. The conversion of these models can be done automatically with specific transformation languages. This conversion requires mapping between both models with the help of dynamic hash tables. Hash tables store reference links between the elements of the source and target model. Whenever there is a need to access the target element, we query the hash table. In contrast, this paper presents an approach by directly creating aspects in the source meta-model with traces. These traces hold references to target elements during the execution. Illustrating the idea of model driven engineering (MDE), This paper proposes a method that transforms UML class models to EMF ECORE model.
