 Revisiting the problem
• Goal:
– ScXml2Cpp.m2t
– ScXml2Ada.m2t

How?
• 20090220_Example1_mofscript.pptx
 XAK

• XAK (pronounced “sack”) is a tool for

composing base and refinement documents in
XML format
• We can have a XML representation of a
MOFScript base transformation
• We can refine the base transformation with
XAK
 Steps

1. Convert MOFScript base transformation into

a model (XMI file)
2. Write XAK refinement for the XMI file
3. Launch XAK composition
4. Convert the resulting model into a
MOFScript transformation
MOFScript 2 Model
 MOFScript 2 Model
base_T.m2t.model.mofscript
 XAK refinement
ref-ada.xak.xml
 Launching composition
• xak -c base_T.m2t.model.mofscript ref-
ada.xak.xml -o ada.m2t.model.mofscript
• As a result we get ada.m2t.model.mofscript
composed MOFScript transformation model
 Model 2 MOFScript
• We can execute the
resulting model
directly or we can
convert it into a
MOFScript
transformation file
