A simple game-theoretic approach to checkonly QVT Relations
<07> Originality: The first paper to use game theory for model transformation semantics. It was also the first to point out a major flaw in the architecture of the OMG standard.
Significance: The approach introduced here has already led to significant progress, viz. the provision of a semantics to recursive QVT-R.
Rigour: The principal methodology was mathematics; all results were proved. Claims about the interpretation of the standard were validated by comparison with ModelMorf, the most reliable QVT-R tool. Work by other authors had failed to observe the problem with the standard, demonstrating the effectiveness of this rigorous approach.
