MOLA project consists of:  

• MOLA - MOdel transformation LAnguage  
• MOLA tool for defining MOLA transformations and executing these transformations on models.

   The goal of MOLA project is to provide a simple and easy readable graphical model transformation language, which would cover the typical transformation applications in Model Driven Software Development (MDSD).

MOLA language is based on traditional in the area concepts such as pattern matching and rules defining how the elements of the matched pattern should be transformed.
   The order, in which the rules must be applied, is specified by means of traditional programming constructs – sequence, loop and branching. Other traditional programming concepts - variables and calls - can also be used in MOLA. The distinguishing feature of MOLA language is the loop construct which is tightly integrated with the pattern definition and makes transformations in MOLA to appear very straightforward and easy readable. A complete transformation description in MOLA consists of a metamodel (MOF compliant) and a set of MOLA diagrams (procedures).  A more detailed description of MOLA language is available here.

• Graphical editor for metamodel and MOLA procedures
• MOLA compiler set which  generates C++  or Java code, using intermediate transformation languages Lx
• MOLA runtime environment built upon metamodel-based in-memory repositories: 
• mii_rep, developed by University of Latvia, IMCS.
• JGralab.
• EMF.
  

A more detailed description of MOLA Tool is available here. The MOLA Tool can be dowloaded from our downloads page.
