YAMTL

YAMTL is an EMF-based model-to-model transformation engine whose transformations are defined with an internal DSL of Xtend. The main strenghts of the language are its interoperability with Java, its expressiveness and its performance. YAMTL model transformation can also be executed incrementally.

A Cross-Technology Benchmark for Incremental Graph Queries. Softw. Syst. Model., 21(2), 755–804. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10270-021-00927-5
To cope with the increased complexity of systems, models are used to capture what is considered the essence of a system. Such models are typically represented as a graph, which is queried to gain insight into the modelled system. Often, the results of these queries need to be adjusted according to updated requirements and are therefore a subject of maintenance activities. It is thus necessary to support writing model queries with adequate languages. However, in order to stay meaningful, the analysis results need to be refreshed as soon as the underlying models change. Therefore, a good execution speed is mandatory in order to cope with frequent model changes. In this paper, we propose a benchmark to assess model query technologies in the presence of model change sequences in the domain of social media. We present solutions to this benchmark in a variety of 11 different tools and compare them with respect to explicitness of incrementalization, asymptotic complexity and performance.

MDE-subtyping

Our tool facilitates the reuse of model management operations that are defined for metamodel specifications, which consist of an EMF metamodel together with its well-formedness constraints (in OCL). Specifically, our tool infers whether two metamodel specifications, whose metamodels and constraints need not be related a priori, are compatible.
