The ATL team (composed by Frédéric Jouault and Dennis Wagelaar ) won the Best Model Synchronization award at the live contest hold during the Tool Transformation Contest 2010 event. Check the TTC web page for more information on the contest and the winners of other awards (if not yet there, they will add this information soon)

ATL 3.1.0 has just been released.

In the field of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), ATL provides ways to produce a set of target models from a set of source models. This release brings a lot of improvements, both at the user interface level and core level. Read the

Xavier Seignard has posted a list of all MDE bloggers he follows. The list looks quite complete (of course you should add him to the list!)
Remember that my own selected selection of bloggers on MDE (or software engineering in general) is available here
