1.Software Introduction

The aim of this project is to solve this problem by proposing a linguistic framework for bidirectional model transformations. The framework includes (1) a new model transformation language with clear bidirectional semantics, being equipped with a powerful bidirectionality inference mechanism and a virtual machine on which bidirectional model transformation can be efficiently realized; (2) an environment for supporting programming, debugging and maintaining bidirectional model transformations; and (3) a set of application examples and domain-specific libraries that can be used in practice.
