Abstract: Model-to-model transformations play a useful role in low-code software development, including the specification and development of model compilers, consistency maintainers and software (co-)evolution. 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. In this talk, I will present the YAMTL language with use cases that showcase some of its features from a scalability perspective.
Bio: Artur is a lecturer at the School of Informatics of the University of Leicester (UK). He obtained his BSc degree in Computer Science in 2002 (Ingeniero en Informática), with an award from Bancaixa/Bancaja for the final year project on data migration. He wrote his Master thesis (DEA) in 2004 and obtained his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science in 2007 (Doctor Cum Laude) from the Technical University of València (UPV). He has been a visiting researcher at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC, USA) and at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC, Spain). In 2007, he joined the University of Leicester (UK) as lecturer. Since 2018, he is Director of Undergraduate Programmes (Computer Science and Software Engineering). His research interests revolve around: agile software development for the cloud using JVM technology and applications in healthcare and industry 4.0; design and implementation of DSLs using model-driven software development and type theory; application of AI technology and formal methods in the intersection of the areas above. Artur has secured funding from Innovate UK for developing manufacturing software infrastructure in the food industry (2018-2019). He is the technical lead of the Informatics team in the ESA-funded project P-STEP (2021-2023). He is a founding member of the EPSRC-funded MDENet: the expert network for Model-Driven Engineering.
