Linguistic Foundations for Bidirectional Transformations (Invited Tutorial)
Summary: Surveys the linguistic approach to bidirectional transformations: designing lens-based languages whose expressions inherently pair forward and backward update mappings instead of inverting fixed view definitions. Covers foundational lens theory, expressive type-system features and domain-specific designs (strings, trees, relations, graphs, models) emphasizing compositional, provably well-behaved update propagation.
