Towards automatic generation of Project-Based solutions

Abstract

Modern business models and processes usually demand an integrated utilisation of business frameworks and methodologies, such as PRINCE2® and PMBOK®, to produce meaningful business documentation and solutions. Often, the use of such frameworks is a prerequisite to engage with public or private sector large-scale projects. However, models contained in such frameworks usually lack formal semantics which may lead to inconsistencies between modeling solutions. The maintainability and reusability of such models tends to require manual intervention which is susceptible to human error. Software engineers used to experience similar issues and partially solved these by introducing a model-driven approach called Model Driven Architecture. In an attempt to adapt to industry needs, over the past five years Domain Specific Modeling has experienced increased popularity. The authors propose a transfer of concepts and logic from MDA and DSM to a project-based model-driven approach; facilitating the automated production of supportive documents for business decision making.
