ab: Summary: We present a new, high-level approach for the specification of
    model-to-model transformations based on declarative patterns. These are
    (atomic or composite) constraints on triple graphs declaring the
    allowed or forbidden relationships between source and target models. In
    this way, a transformation is defined by specifying a set of triple
    graph constraints that should be satisfied by the result of the
    transformation. The description of the transformation is then compiled
    into lower-level operational mechanisms to perform forward or backward
    transformations, as well as to establish mappings between two existent
    models. In this paper we study one of such mechanisms based on the
    generation of operational triple graph grammar rules. Moreover, we
    exploit deduction techniques at the specification level in order to
    generate more specialized constraints (preserving the specification
    semantics) reflecting pattern dependencies, from which additional rules
    can be derived.
