The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Using ASEME Methodology for Model-Driven Agent Systems Development (2010, background): “Model Driven Engineering (MDE) relies heavily on model transformation [25].”
Refactoring of Execution Control Charts in Basic Function Blocks of the IEC 61499 Standard (2010, neutral): “Model Driven Engineering — (MDE) is one of the state-of-the-art software engineering technologies, and it operates with models and their transformations [3].”
A Taxonomy of Model Transformation (2006, background): “The disadvantage is that the API may restrict the kinds of transformations that can be performed [2].”
The Epsilon Transformation Language (2008, methodology): “While model transformation has been characterized as the heart and soul of MDD [4], it constitutes only one of the tools in the model engineering toolkit; automating other tasks such as model-to-text transformation, model comparison, validation and merging is of significant, if not of equal, importa”
Feature-based survey of model transformation approaches (2006, methodology): “Another account of requirements for model transformation approaches is given by Sendall and Kozaczynski.(69) Mens and Van Gorp(59) have also proposed a classification of model transformations, which they apply to graph transformation systems.”
