IntroductionToday, the challenges related to the lack of interoperability in software engineering have strongly increased. To handle

interoperability problem at modeling phase (for example between modeling tools), we will use the definition given by

IEEE [1] witch can be customized according to our overview; “the goal of application’s interoperability is to ensure that

their respective models can be exchanged and consumed between those different applications”. This does mean that

we can transform a source model to a target model, each one conforming to its respective meta-model.

- Raise the problem of

interoperability between

different tools of product line

engineering..

- The model transformation is

important in the product line

engineering, it enables us to

pass from the modeling phase

to the configuration phase.

- To the best of our knowledge,

until now, in the field of

engineering product line there

is not a generic model product

line ‘s transformation tool.

- Some transformation tools

which are mainly used in the

academic world are classified

as restrictive.

Conclusion and Futur workIn this paper, we highlighted the need for providing a

generic tool for model transformation, We have defined

the architecture of our transformation model approach. ,

there still a room for improvement such as the semantic of

models transformed and check the correctness and

quality of transformed model. Also, for future work, we

would like to investigate how to extend our approach and

think about the integration of product line models.

Contribution

Aim of our research

The objective of this thesis

is to study and to-implement

an approach for the

transformation and

integration of product lines

models in a heterogeneous

environment by contributing

to two important aspects:

Implement a fully

automated generic

approach which aims to

transform and integrate the

model product line,

regardless of its language

and its environment, while

providing the necessary

flexibility.

Implement the necessary

mechanisms to check the

correctness and quality of

model transformation.
