BX 2014 - International Workshop on Bidirectional Transformations (BX)

Bidirectional transformations (bx) are a mechanism for maintaining the consistency of at least two related sources of information. Such sources can be relational data, software models, documents, graphs, trees, and so on. BX are an emerging topic in a wide range of research areas with prominent presence at top conferences in different fields. However, much of the research in bx tends to get limited exposure outside of a single field of study. The purpose of this workshop series is not only to further research into bx, but to promote cross-disciplinary research and awareness in the area. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners, established and new, interested in bidirectional transformations from different perspectives, such as inversion of data exchange mappings, new perspectives on view updatability, data-schema co-evolution and data synchronization, software-model synchronization, consistency analysis, (coupled) software/model transformations, language-based approaches.
