The concept of model transformations is of increasing importance in software engineering, especially in the context of model-driven development. Although many model transformation approaches are implemented in various tools and utilized by a wide range users, often these implementations are quite ad-hoc and without any proven correctness. Thus, in the last years the need for analysis and verification of model transformations has emerged. As a basis, a formal framework is needed which allows to obtain respective results. In this thesis, we use graph transformation to define model transformations and verify certain correctness properties. In this chapter, the basic concepts of graph and model transformations are introduced and a survey of recent literature is given.
