Model-Driven Software Development

Abstract

This chapter introduces model-driven software development, which is a conceptual basis of the MARE Method. Section 5.1.1 introduces basic modelling concepts as e.g. the terms model and metamodel. Section 5.2 describes model transformations, while Section 5.3 examines the role of architecture in current model-driven software development approaches. Section 5.4 presents interoperability metamodels, which are a conceptual basis for the metamodels used in the MARE Method. Section 5.5 ends the chapter with an overview of model-driven reengineering approaches, which can be used to extend MARE towards the restructuring of the implementation of a system.
