Abstract

In this paper we propose an approach for translating DATA* structure of a high number of states to aggregate region automaton. Firstly, we propose a program written in python language that transforms a DATA* structure, presented as a dotty file, to a DATA* structure written in the form of a python file respecting the syntax of AToM3. Secondly, we define a meta-model of the DATA* model and a meta-model of the aggregate region automata model thus a transformation grammar using graph transformation and the modeling tool AToM3 to perform this transformation automatically.
