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,...
Responding to Marschall... ... While the tool is designed around an elaboration concept, the specification of transformation rules is an interesting approach...
[...] ... nonfunctional ... be ... tools ... viable way ... approach to ... Hm, sorry but I'm not sure if I really did understand your question. About what...
Responding to Marschall... ... The short answer is: tools that (a) can validate a PIM against functional requirements and (b) produce a complete executable...
... Why write unit tests? As far as I can tell PostConditions act as a test on the method implementation. There is a big difference to writing a procedure and...
I understand that Postconditions are what you should expect before returning from a procedure (or method). This expectation does not imply sequence ordering of...
Dear All I thought this (see below) might be of interest to this group. Any comments on the article, "MDA: The Vision with the Hole?", would be welcome. Rgds ...
Ashley, I am answering this with my "MDA Person" hat, assuming that I am one of the MDA people you are referring to. If you look at my signature on the Agile...
Cris, Ashely, I support the other answers, but have another point to add. I do not believe that postconditions can be used to specify a behaviorally complete...
Jos The comment "Yes, the pro-MDA folks, with the exception of Steve Mellor's folks, seem to be in denial of agility. It would be nice if they could get out...
Ashley, Sorry for the confusion, it seems that I disagree with Scott, not with you. Can you tell me on what forum Scott is making this kind of statements. I...
Jos ... Well, I did put "I agree" after Scott's polemical comment -- as I have read some descriptions of MDA that appear antithetical to Agile thinking. So I...
Responding to McNeile... ... There are a couple of reasons but first one has to separate design-by-contract from program validation. While program validation...
Ashley, The polarisation between Agile Modeling and the rose-tinted description of current tools by some "MDA" tool vendors is very counter-productive. Both...
Responding to McNeile... ... While I basically agree with the descriptions, I have a couple of quibbles. In the translationist view the PSM is fixed for a...
(responding to H.S.) Dropping briefly out of lurker mode - Hi, H.S. I'll comment on a couple of the 'Agile' issues... not all Agile Modelers are rampant MDA...
Responding to Oldfield... ... My point is that in translation one /never/ tweaks the code so one /must/ get the models right. One of the problems of...
(Responding to H.S.) ... That should be acceptable to agile practitioners if we can get all other concerns addressed. We would be interested in ensuring we...
Responding to H.S. ... Thanks for pointing these out. ... I know that IT people find modelling with conceptually asynchronous state machines hard. I discovered...
Responding to Oldfield... ... You're last sentence is correct, which is why we don't write code manually. (I know of one tool vendor who deliberately made the...
Responding to McNeile... ... That was Then; this is Now. B-) In the '80s very few IT developers were exposed to asynchronous processing. Similar problems...
Responding to H. S. ... The idea that transactional means or implies batched is *very* unconventional. Please explain. If you think these two are related in...
(responding to H.S.) I'm not wanting to hijack MDA for a full discussion of agile practices, so I'll try and keep my responses to the point and relevant... ......
Responding to McNeile... ... Transaction processing was developed in the '50s when data was stored in sequential files on magnetic tape. Update transactions...
Responding to H.S. ... That was then, but this is now. :-) Transactional processing these days is normally on-line. IME, these days the word "transactional"...
