Model-Driven Development (MDD) represents a positive step toward a general model-based approach to software engineering. The Object Management Group (OMG) offers a conceptual framework, called Model-Driven Architecture(MDA) that defines a set of standards in support of MDD. We present an approach based on ZOOM which provides a set of process ,notations and supporting tools that are application ...

The Application Service Provision (ASP) model offers a new form of IS/IT resource management option for which the vendor remotely provides the usage of applications over a network. Currently, the ASP industry appears to be more vendor-driven. But without a good understanding of how the ASP offerings might appeal to prospective customers, the industry might not survive. This study investigates e...

Context: Model-Driven Security (MDS) is as a specialised Model-Driven Engineering research area for supporting the development of secure systems. Over a decade of research onMDS has resulted in a large number

As an emerging solution to the handling of complex and evolving software systems, Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is still very much in evolution. The industrial demand is quite high while the research answer for a sound set of foundation principles is still far from being stabilized. Therefore it is important to provide a current state of the art in MDE, describing what its origins are, what it...

Model-based development and in particular MDA [1], [2] have promised to be especially suited for the development of complex, heterogeneous, and large software systems. However, so far MDA has failed to fulfill this promise to a larger extent because of tool support being inadequate and clumsy and methodologies not being appropriate for an effective development. This article discusses what went ...

This paper describes our approach to building an automatically adaptive course presentation on the Web. Our method aims to combine adaptability with the learner-driven course. To achieve this goal, we design and implement an agent called a confidence agent. This agent analyzes the learner’s behavior during a learner-driven stage and then not only adapts the next presentation but also updates th...

Model transformations play a major role in model-driven engineering. For increasing development productivity as well as quality of model transformations, different kinds of reuse mechanisms have been proposed. However, it remains unclear to which extent reuse mechanisms have made their way into practical application. Thus, this paper presents an empirical study on the ATL Transformation Zoo to ...

Refinement is a key practice in the Model-Driven Architecture initiative of the Object Modelling Group. However, the practice is loosely defined, overloaded, and open to misinterpretation. In this paper, we outline ongoing work on providing a precise definition for refinement via consistency checking, not only in the context of MDA, but more generally for model-driven development in a variety o...

The Object Management Group’s (OMG) Model Driven Architecture (MDA) strategy envisages a world where models play a more direct role in software production, being amenable to manipulation and transformation by machine. Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is wider in scope than MDA. MDE combines process and analysis with architecture. This article sets out a framework for model driven engineering, whi...
