SMTL oriented model transformation mechanism for heterogeneous smart mobile models

Abstract

Until now, there are not existed any research to reuse any software on heterogeneous smartphones for interoperating between Android/iphone and iphone/Android. To do this, our previous approach [7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16] just used UML metamodel and model transformation language, ATL, based on model oriented Architecture/development (MDA/MDD) to embedded systems. But it has limited for Model Transformation language to represent all transformation rules with ATL. This limitation is not suitable for heterogeneous smartphone model transformation, and also impossible to extension of ATL. To solve this problem, this paper suggests Smartphone Model Transformation Language (SMTL) oriented model transformation mechanism for heterogeneous smartphone. We define SMTL which easily manipulates more input model in SMTL engine. Through invoking operation in SMTL engine, it is directly mapped with API in Eclipse modeling Framework (EMF). In addition, design to use XPath as XML technique instead of OCL to search data in source model.
