WORKSHOP GOALS AND THEMES
Object-oriented technology indisputably provided us with a better
handle on complexity than previous technologies. Nevertheless, the
growing size of applications and the demands for shorter
time-to-market mean that many issues remain, and a combination of
generative and model-driven techniques can help us address them.
From
<http://www.omg.org/mda/executive_overview.htm>http://www.omg.org/mda/executive_overview.htm:
"Model Driven Architectureś addresses the complete life cycle of
designing, deploying, integrating, and managing applications as well
as data using open standards. MDA-based standards enable
organizations to integrate whatever they already have in place with
whatever they build today · and whatever they build tomorrow.
Most importantly, MDA enables the creation of standardized Domain
Models for specific vertical industries. These standardized models
can be realized for multiple platforms now and in the future, easing
multiple platform integration issues and protecting IT investments
against the uncertainty of changing fashions in platform technology.
The benefits of MDA are significant-to business leaders and developers alike:
Reduced cost throughout the application life-cycle
Reduced development time for new applications
Increased return on technology investments
Rapid inclusion of emerging technology benefits into their existing systems
MDA provides a solid framework that frees system infrastructures to
evolve in response to a never-ending parade of platforms, while
preserving and leveraging existing technology investments. It enables
system integration strategies that are better, faster and cheaper."
Although promising tools are appearing, in the perception of the
mainstream developer, there is little in terms of concrete tools that
actually support MDA beyond traditional UML modeling and
skeleton-class generation. Evolving older tools provide features to
define and instantiate design patterns, but most of these tools still
expose the user to UML models at the level of abstraction of
implementation code. Model-driven generative techniques help to
bridge the gap from abstract models to concrete implementation. The
widely used wizards based on generation languages that don't use
models as input may have practical limits in terms of the complexity
of code that can be generated.
The workshop aims to bring together practitioners, researchers,
academics, and students to discuss the state-of-the-art of generative
techniques in the context of model-driven architecture.
Topics of interest include:
synergy between model-driven architecture, components and generative
techniques;
designing domain specific languages on the basis of the UML [2.0] core;
modeling variability in functionality within product lines;
notations for model-to-model transformations;
styles of model-driven generators;
model-driven template languages (language design, template execution
environment, debugging, template editors, management of template
code);
specification of heuristics and manual design decisions;
use of XSLT for MDA;
generation of code & non-code artifacts;
influence of model-driven techniques on software architecture;
model-driven generation and agile development;
industrial applications of model-driven, automated development.
The goal is to share experience, assess the state-of-the-art and the
state-of-the-practice, consolidate successful techniques, and
identify the most promising application areas and open issues for
future work.
POSITION PAPERS
Potential participants are asked to submit a two-page (or longer)
position paper detailing their experience with model-based generative
techniques, their perspective on one or more of the above topics, and
their planned contribution to the workshop. We seek concrete case
studies and potential topics of discussion in order to ground the
workshop in real-world issues. Please mail your submission (in PDF or
Word) to Jrn Bettin
