Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD) is currently a highlyregarded development paradigm among developers and researchers.With the advent of OMG's MDA and Microsoft's Software Factories,the MDSD approach has moved to the centre of the programmer'sattention, becoming the focus of conferences such as OOPSLA, JAOOand OOP. MDSD is about using domain-specific languages to create models thatexpress application structure or behaviour in an efficient anddomain-specific way. These models are subsequently transformed intoexecutable code by a sequence of model transformations. This practical guide for software architects and developers ispeppered with practical examples and extensive case studies.International experts deliver: * A comprehensive overview of MDSD and how it relates to industrystandards such as MDA and Software Factories. * Technical details on meta modeling, DSL construction,model-to-model and model-to-code transformations, and softwarearchitecture. * Invaluable insight into the software development process, plusengineering issues such as versioning, testing and product lineengineering. * Essential management knowledge covering economic andorganizational topics, from a global perspective. Get started and benefit from some practical support along the way!
