abstract = "We apply methods of genetic programming to a general
problem from software engineering, namely example-based
generation of specifications. In particular, we focus
on model transformation by example. The definition and
implementation of model transformations is a task
frequently carried out by domain experts, hence, a
(semi-)automatic approach is desirable. This
application is challenging because the underlying
search space has rich semantics, is high-dimensional,
and unstructured. Hence, a computationally brute-force
approach would be unscalable and potentially
infeasible. To address that problem, we develop a
sophisticated approach of designing complex mutation
operators. We define patterns for constructing mutation
operators and report a successful case study.
Furthermore, the code of the evolved model
transformation is required to have high maintainability
and extensibility, that is, the code should be easily
readable by domain experts. We report an evaluation of
this approach in a software engineering case study.",
