Architecture Based Component Composition (ABC) aims to support component-based systems in a systematic and automated fashion by using software architecture as its blueprint and middleware technology as its runtime scaffold for component composition, maintenance and evolution. Model transformations are key elements in this development agenda, providing a way to represent and transform software artifacts such as requirements, design models, program code, tests, configuration files, and documentation in software development, among which, bidirectional transformation is a novel mechanism for synchronizing and maintaining the consistency between different models.

The main goal of the Workshop on Bidirectional Transformation in Architecture-Based Component Composition (Bi-Trans in ABC) is to provide a forum for researchers and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, advances, experience and concerns in the generative approach to software development, as well as to promote the interaction between participators.

The Workshop on Bidirectional Transformation is a part of the GRACE International Symposium on Advanced Software Engineering 2010, and expect Bi-Trans in ABC Workshop participants to join the workshop.

The workshops are jointly organized by GRACE Center of National Institute of Informatics, Japan, Key Laboratory of High Confidence Software Technologies of Peking University, Information Processing Laboratory of University of Tokyo, and Bi-Trans in ABC will be held in Kanagawa, Japan, during 12-14 March, 2010, followed by Workshop on Bidirectional Transformation in Tokyo, Japan on 15 March, 2010
