Abstract

With the increasing importance of models in software development, many activities such as transformation, verification and composition are becoming crucial in the field of Model Driven Engineering (MDE). Our main objective is to propose a model-driven approach to compose design models. This approach is applied to the VUML profile that allows to analyse/design a system on the basis of functional points of view. In this paper we first describe a transformation-based composition process and then we specify transformations as a collection of QVT-Core rules implemented in ATL. The proposal is illustrated by a simple example.
