Eventful times at OOPSLA

  • Artykuł

Today at OOPSLA I participated in a panel session about MDA. We had an interesting debate about what MDA actually is. I suggested that MDA proponents fall into the following three camps.

1. The UML PIM camp: MDA involves the use of UML to build Platform Independent Models (PIMs) which are transformed into Platform Specific Models (PSMs) from which code is generated.

2. The MOF camp: MDA does not involve the use of UML, but instead the crucial technology is MOF, and the definition of modelling languages and language transformations using MOF.

3. The Executable UML camp: MDA involves building a UML compiler, making it a first class programming language.

It was a lively panel. Feedback from the audience told us that very few people are actually using MDA, although quite a lot are doing modelling.

We’ve had an interesting time here. Our Software Factories tutorial went well, and we’ve had some good feedback. The product announcement during the Rick Rashid keynote wasn’t such a great idea, though. Still, it feels good that we’ve now announced what we are working on – Stuart Kent’s blog gives details.

    Ah, not that again. I don’t know whether it’s really worth fighting that battle anymore, but there is a fourth camp in the MDA space: Those who simply apply it to existing projects, without waiting for academic long-term benefits,

    1.MDA 是什么
    模型驱动的框架。简单来说就是由原来编程序改成编模型。看起来好像是 4GL 甚至 5GL 的样子。不过区别还是很大的，一个是语言，一个是模型。
