Data Set for Predicting the Performance of ATL Model Transformations Based on Generated Models

Predicting the execution time of model transformations can help to understand how a transformation reacts to a given input model without creating and transforming the respective model. In our previous data set (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8385957), we have documented our experiments in which we predict the performance of ATL transformations using predictive models obtained from training linear regression, random forest and support vector regression. As input for the prediction, our approach uses a characterization of the input model. In these experiments, we only used data from real models. However, a common problem is that transformation developers do not have enough models available to use such a prediction approach. Therefore, in a new variant of our experiments, we investigated whether the three considered machine learning approaches can predict the performance of transformations if we use data from generated models for training. We also investigated whether it is possible to achieve good predictions with smaller training data. The dataset provided here offers the corresponding raw data, scripts, and results.
