【 摘 要 】

Model Transformations are the core of Model Driven Development. They are used in many areas (e.g. to bridge different levels of abstractions, synchronize inter-model commonalities or realize model evolution) and supported by well-established standards such as Query, View and Transformation (QVT). Nowadays, transformations have to be defined manually which is an error-prone, complex, and time-consuming task. In this paper we address the problem of manual definition and describe an existing approach for an automatic mapping of metamodels and generation of rules for transformation languages. We target the use of the generated rules in order to provide guidance and support during the definition process. However, this novel approach lacks of usability, completeness and quality. Therefore, we identify the need for improving this approach and outline how automatic mapping concepts apply to the area of Service Engineering in context of the Internet of Services (IoS). Key words: Model transformation, model matching, transformation area of Service Engineering in context of the Internet of Services (IoS).
