Abstract
Effective application of the MDA software development technology calls for design methods and techniques for specifying and automated execution of software model transformations. The paper presents fundamentals of MDA and the role of software model transformations for this technology. A special language designed for transformation definition is proposed, its properties are discussed, and an example of practical application is given.
