About:
Gerti Kappel is full professor at the Institute of Information Systems Engineering at TU Wien, chairing the Business Informatics Group. Prior to that, from 1993 to 2001, she was a full professor of computer science (database systems) and head of the Department of Information Systems at the Johannes Kepler University Linz.

From 2016 to 2019, she was a member of the dean’s team of the Faculty of Informatics responsible for research, diversity, and financial affairs. Since the beginning of 2020 she acts as the dean of the Faculty of Informatics at TU Wien.

Her current research interests include Model Engineering, Web Engineering, and Process Engineering, with a special emphasis on cyber-physical production systems. Striving for the unity of research and teaching, she co-authored and co-edited among others „UML@Work“ (dpunkt.verlag, 3rd ed, 2005), „UML@Classroom“ (Springer, 2015), and „Web Engineering“ (Wiley, 2006).

Astract: The capability of UML profiles to serve as annotation mechanism has been recognized in both industry and research. With JUMP, we have presented a fully automatic approach to generate profiles from annotation-based Java libraries. We have demonstrated the practical value of JUMP by contributing profiles that facilitate reverse-engineering and forward-engineering scenarios for the Java platform. Its evaluation shows that automatically generated profiles are equal or even improved in quality compared to profiles currently used in practice.

Astract: Although many different model transformation languages (MTLs) and model transformation frameworks (MTFs) exist, each of them is requiring a developer to learn an additional language. Moreover since many of them follow a declarative approach, they are often less intuitive for programmers familiar with imperative language. Therefore a Java based imperative library called jTL has been developed which enables the user to write the whole transformation process in pure Java. The resulting jTL is applicable to a wide range of transformation tasks that include classical graph based source models or especially source code translation, because transformation of legacy code is still a not yet solved challenge in software migration. Since source code transformation is a quite complex and performance intensive task, the jTL represents an easy to use approach, which focuses on goals like maintainability, readability, reusability and performance improvements. To achieve these goals two similar existing approaches were examined to uncover weaknesses and deduce possible improvements for the resulting jTL. Moreover jTL further benefits from new Java 8 features like bulk operation, lambda expression, functional interface and parallel stream processing. Although jTL has been kept as simple as possible, it is still a complete transformation approach, since it also supports further important features like tracing or reuse mechanisms like rule inheritance which should be part of every state of the art transformation language. As an evaluation, two concrete transformation examples are given that make use of jTL. This should give an idea how a transformation with jTL can be established and what differences and improvements come up with jTL in contrast to other Java based transformation solutions.
