Session Title	The ladder to abstraction: Quantum Leaps or incremental Steps
Session Type	Tutorial
Duration	75 minutes
Session Description	This talk will take an informal look at how several challenges have forced us to develop an approach to abstraction. While this will be based on our own product, the techniques are intended to be applicable on any generation tool. The talk will also cover the implications of abstraction for meta-modelling, UML tool profile generation, model structure and the organisation of model-to-model and model-to-text transforms.
