A Collection Operator for Graph Transformation

Abstract. Graph transformation has a well-established theory and associated tools that can be used to perform model transformations. However, the lack of a construct to match and transform collections of similar subgraphs makes graph transformation complex or even impractical to use in a number of transformation cases. This is addressed in this paper, by defining a collection operator which is powerful, yet fairly simple to model and understand. We present model transformation examples from different modeling domains to illustrate the benefit of the approach.
