This system is completely codeless and one can develop business oriented applications effortlessly using its GUI and a bit of MDA. The site is : http://www.codeless.com/ But unfortunately it is in Dutch language. I would like to know if anyone...
QVT (Query View Transformation) is a OMG specification of a Model-to-Model transformation language. Some tools already implement it (Eclipse, androMDA). I'm wondering whether it is really used in real-world cases. Will it ever take off and be used to tackle real-world problems? Is anybody using the QVT language? ...
Model Driven Architecture is the idea that you create models which express the problem you need to solve in a way that is free of any (or at least most) implementation technologies, and then you generate implementation for one or more specific platforms. The claim is that working at a higher level of abstraction is far more powerful and ...
The Mythical Man-Month is now classic, but the "Surgical Team" methodology is still interesting. What methodology most closely resembles it or has the same essence? To summarize the Surgical Team analogy: A surgeon understands the problem/business domain and is the expert. They are the authority when there are questions or conflict ...
Hey all, I've been wanting to have a dabble with Model Driven Architecture for a while now. Could anyone give me any hints on how to start. I'd love to be able to define a domain model in UML then be able to transform it to say java classes with JPA/hibernate annotations defining the data mappings. I'd really love to get my hands dir...

I was wondering whether anybody out there is actively using Rhapsody TestConductor? Or has tried it for a while, but then decided to turn it down for a particular reason? If so, what are your experiences, in which field do you apply it, what are the shortcomings, or why did you turn it down? At the moment we're considering TestConductor...

Hey, I would like to use Android for Model-Driven-Software-Development. For this, I need to locate the Android Model in the SDK. I already searched a while for it, but were not able to find it.

I need to do mail processing where I manipulate the contents of the mail or invoke a script on the receipt of email, supporting a number of email addresses as the access points. In reading through the MDA agents, procmail appears to be the standard standby, but maildrop has some following too. Wikipedia comments that anyone starting some...
Hi I am looking for a COTS library to visualize a custom modeling language to be used for the configuration of a dynamic system. The non-programmer users need to drag, drop some blocks with ports, connect them using specific connectors like using Matlab Simulink. The library might include only widgets or widgets plus some framework for ...

I am currently facing a situation where I as an advocate of test driven development have to compete with an advocate of model driven software development (MDSD) / model driven architecture (MDA). In my opinion, code generation is a valuable tool in my toolbox and I make heavy use of templates and automation when needed. I also create di...
I have just got the following bloody MDA exception on a rather simple little program: A SafeHandle or CriticalHandle of type 'Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles.SafeCapiHashHandle' failed to properly release the handle with value 0x004E48C0. This usually indicates that the handle was released incorrectly via another means (such as...
hi there. I write an app in C#, .NET 3.0 in VS2005 with a feature of monitoring insertion/ejection of various removable drives (USB flash disks, CD-ROMs etc.). I did not want to use WMI, since it can be sometimes ambiguous (e.g. it can spawn multiple insertion events for a single USB drive), so I simply override the WndProc of my mainfo...
