Graph grammar approach for transforming DATA

In this paper we propose an approach for translating DATA* structure to aggregate regions automaton using graph transformation. However, our approach allows to generate automatically a visual modeling tool for DATA* and the aggregate regions automaton. The cost of building a visual modeling tool from scratch is prohibitive. Meta-modeling approach is useful to deal with this problem since it allows the modeling of the formalisms themselves, by means of graph grammars. The meta-modeling tool AToM

is used.
