Thanks so much gentlemen. We're aligned as far as the conclusion goes - still looking for a few examples of failures like realizing too late that an architecture was still needed. @Rui: not sure I fully understand that one - If I use a DSL based ap…

My simple and quick take on this subject: SA = MDD done without a formal specification

Very nice topic Angelo! I fully agree with Bernhard comments. Moreover, MDD provides an exceptional way of really evolve your Software Architecture (SA) using a super-sonic speeed. 1. First SA version, and first applications must be built manually…

Bernhard Merkle replied to Angelo Hulshout's discussion 'MDD and software architecture - where do they meet, and where do they collide?'

Hi Angelo I think MDD needs SA. This is an important point people often forget. They think with MDD everything is fine. It is not. You still need a clean architecture and the Model needs to conform to the architecture. OTOH in my experience a SA m…

MDD and software architecture - where do they meet, and where do they collide?

I'm preparing a presentation on MDD and software architecture, and on where they complement each other or get in each other's way. This in the broadest sense: not only on technical level, but also where processes and organisation are involved. Also,…

Angelo Hulshout replied to Ricardo's discussion 'Can I use MDD to create computer games?'

Interesting question. I haven't seen any examples yet, but given that frameworks for game development exist (and some games come with complete SDKs), I think it's certainly possible. I'm talking to the owner of a 'serious games' company (they develo…

Shall I first and finally get the thing online before we start adding nifty features like EclipseUML, eerr. feature matrices? And I'll put feature matrices, err.. EclipseUML on the list. If it promises to generate code, of course. ;-) Hopefully I ca…

Where is my favorite tool EclipseUML :-) ?

Profile Information

My interest in Model Driven Software Development:

The development of software and the approach taken is part of the architecture of any software related system. As such, model driven software development is something to be considered in the context of any software system architecture.

My experience of Model Driven Software Development:

Have worked together with MetaCase on a number of DSM leads in The Netherlands, and a project for Dutch KPN (see presentations as CGN2007 and MDExperience 2008. Worked with people from Verum (NL) on ASD, an design and verification approach based on mathematical models and CSP.

MDSD Tooling Index - Cont'd

Well, works been bothering me (not really, but it takes up most of my time lately and I'm glad too), so the work on the index has been stalled for a few weeks already. I will likely not be able to pick up on this before early september. In the mean time, keep me posted on any ideas, suggestions and so on related to what I already announced in my previous blog entry.

MDSD tooling index

I'll be publishing a (monthly or bi-monthly) updated index of the most popular MDSD tools and technologies some time in the next two weeks. This is based on web results and a set of tools and technologies that I am aware of.
The initial (unranked) list will appear on my web site (http://www.delphino-consultancy.nl) over the weekend. Please drop me an e-mail if you think a tool or technology that is not on that list should be added.

EDIT: The init… Continue

Code Generation 2009 - Day 3

This third day at Code Generation is a short one for me - due to my flight schedule I will have to skip the closing panel.
However, it's been another useful day. The first session this morning was part 2 of Markus Völter and Steven Kelly's key note. A number of interesting observations regarding model decomposition, integration and partitioning where the main part, again interleaved with worst practise examples.

After the keynote, I joined the Xtext workshop, to get my first hands on experience… Continue

Code Generation 2009 - Day 2

Thanks to Karsten's post earlier today I won't have to worry about not having a camera with me that is decent enough to take pictures during the conference - instead, I'll focus on what I've seen today.

This morning, the first of two keynotes by the dynamic duo Blondie and Tuco, a.k.a. Markus Völter and Steven Kelly (you figure out who is who - in the movie Blondie is the good, Tuco the ugly). They took us on a lightning right through the essence of model driven development: the process, the pe… Continue

A day at the generation...

It's been fun, the first day at the CodeGeneration 2009 Conference. Met quite a few old acquaintances, like Juha-Pekka Tolvanen and Steven Kelly, but also Jos Warmer (who I hadn't seen in at least a week).

With 10 presentations and workshops to choose from, life wasn't that easy but also not really hard.
Template Specialization right after breakfast was a bit too much for me, so instead I enjoyed Juha-Pekka's introduction to MDD. Not much news in there for me, but his overview gets better every… Continue
