Track: DSL

Abstract: Everybody would like the productivity benefits of modeling with full code generation, but the upgrade path from coding to modeling seems a closely guarded secret. This session will demystify Domain-Specific Modeling, open the lid on the OMG´s MDA, and shine a light on Microsoft´s Software Factories. We will show which bits of Model-Driven Development (MDD) work, which might work, and which don´t, and explain where they can be applied ? and where not. Most importantly, we will show the steps to define your own modeling languages and generators to start using models effectively, road-tested in dozens of projects over a decade.
