Abstract

Model Transformation By Example (MTBE) is a recent approach that derives model transformation rules from a source model, a target model, and matching between models. Building a match between models may be a complex task especially when models have been created or edited manually. In this paper, we propose an automated approach to generate mapping between source and target models. The novetly of our approach consists in the production of many-to-many mapping between the elements of the two models.
