				<p>Epsilon Flock is a model migration language built atop EOL, for updating models in response to metamodel changes. Flock provides a rule-based transformation language for specifying model migration strategies. A conservative copying algorithm automatically migrates model values and elements that are not affected by the metamodel changes.</p>
