  Model Transformations in Practice (MTiP) 2005 was a workshop which provided a
forum for the model transformation community to discuss practical model
transformation issues. Although many different model transformation approaches
have been proposed and explored in recent years, there has been little work on
comparing and contrasting various approaches. Without such comparisons, it is
hard to assess new model transformation approaches such as the upcoming OMG
MOF/QVT recommendation, or to discern sensible future paths for the area. Our
aims with the workshop were to create a forum that would help lead to an
increased understanding of the relative merits of different model
transformation techniques and approaches. A more advanced understanding of such
merits is of considerable benefit to both the model transformation and wider
modelling communities.
