Components and features
The VIATRA project provides five different, high-level components of various aspects of model processing:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| VIATRA Queries | A high-performance query engine for evaluating graph pattern-based queries using different strategies |
| VIATRA Model Transformations (VIATRA-MT) | Specify and execute batch and event-driven, reactive transformations |
| VIATRA Design Space Exploration (VIATRA-DSE) | A rule-based framework to explore design candidates as models satisfying multiple criteria |
| VIATRA Complex Event Processing (VIATRA-CEP) | A framework to specify reactions upon detecting complex sequences of events |
| VIATRA Model Obfuscator | The obfuscator can be used to remove sensitive information from a confidential model (e.g. to create bug reports) |
In addition to these components, VIATRA also provides a set of addons as reusable and integrations to allow seamlessly integration to
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Data binding | Defines observable values for the JFace Data binding library |
| Query-based features | Specify EMF derived features with graph patterns |
| Validation | Define validation rules with graph patterns |
| Viewers | Define view models using graph patterns and display them in various viewers |
| Editor and model integrations | Support to attach VIATRA to different editor kinds, such as EMF tree editors, GMF or Graphiti based editors, and also some libraries with query based feature definitions |
| MWE2-based transformation chain integration | A library to include VIATRA-based transformations in MWE transformation workflows |
