EXHIBIT

In computer systems, copies of data are very often stored in different formats. Bidirectional transformations are programs that synchronise the data pairwise: when one is changed, the appropriate transformation is run to incorporate the changes in the other format.

The aim of the EXHIBIT project is to streamline the development of bidirectional transformations through a new generation of bidirectional languages. A key design goal is that the new languages will be closely integrated with mainstream general-purpose languages, naturally reusing existing language constructs, libraries, and programming patterns to maximise the usability of the new framework.
