Jason I am going to give an answer to the question you had on Aron's post. I hope Aron will forgive and correct me if I have misinterpreted what he meant! ... ...
Hi Aron ... Yes. This is a real practical issue. Users are very used to seeing UI prototypes (i.e. screens that actually look like what will eventually be...
Hi All All claims to support MDA by vendors, and the sales teams of all vendors make such a claim, are bogus. It is not possible to support the transformation...
Hi, recently I had a discussion about "Reverse MDA" which is that you transform a specific model ("PSM") to an abtract model ("PIM"). While I believe its very...
Hi Ed and all, Speaking of QVT: will we also be able to fully specify code generation in it, i.e. model compilers for executable models? And could you...
... If you want to do actual code generation, you need to add a new requirement to your favorite QVT proposal: you need to be able to define in which order the...
Hi Aron QVT should be just meta-model instances to meta-model instances, and given that you define a meta-model that looks rather close to text you can do...
Hi, ... requirement to ... order the ... should appear ... Like Ed Willink explains in another post, one could use a meta model to describe code. Theoretically...
Hi Aron, Ivan I would expect the equivalent of an "{ordered}" constraint to apply to a collection in a source meta-model to ensure that output order matches ...
... So would I, but this is not applicable to code generation directly from a PIM (i.e. executable modelling) which is what I was mostly thinking about (and...
Hello Ed, and all, Thanks for this clear explanation. ... I assume that the transformation definition in QVT-to-be should be added to the list of things to...
Hi Aron ... Yes. Transformation definition_s_. There is no reason why transformations should not exhibit concurrent and sequential composition including ...
... Excuse me if I missed something. What is the definition of a Mark Model? Is it what we call a texture mapping in GMT? If I understand its purpose well,...
To whom it may concern, Two students are doiing their internship at our r&d group and their job is to design and implement an information system using the MDA...
Hi Ghica and All ... I think not, but it depends exactly what a texture mapping is in GMT. A mapping may establish a general mapping from meta-model instances...
LS, I am follwowing the discussions about "PIM to PSM" generation. What I am missing is the role of (AOP) Aspect Oriented Programming. Enclosed is a very ...
Hi Thiel Pre-MDA we do PSM (implementation) programming. PSM languages have many limitations that AOP is able to address by providing a better implementation...
I too have been waiting for Aspect Orientation to come up in this discussion. I have been using and teaching Executable/Translatable UML and its predecessor...
Dear Thiel ... The MDA metrics I have seen focus on time or effort to develop (for instance, http://www.omg.org/mda/mda_files/MDA_Comparison-TMC_final.pdf)....
Hi All The Eclipse Generative Model Transformer project aims to provide an Open Source for tool for MDA. A proposal that describes a very simple extensible...
Hi All, To clarify: Ed's proposal document does not reflect the views of the GMT project leadership, and it also does not contain a description of the GMT...
Hello *, at MDAFA'03 we presented BOTL, our approach to transform object-oriented models. Meanwhile there is a prototypical tool support for BOTL available at ...
Hi, I just read this article about MDA and OMG.s version of MDA, this from a large companys viewpoint and business interests. ...

Anders ... I agree -- the Steve Cook (Microsoft) article is interesting. The article is very hot on the idea of domain-specific languages. In the article,...
