Model driven workflow development with T□

Abstract

Model Driven Engineering (MDE) refers to the systematic use of models as primary engineering artifacts throughout the engineering lifecycle. MDE has a lot of potential to make adaptive software systems, but it requires maturity and tool support. Here we present a domain specific language, called T □ (pronounced as T-Square) for writing workflow process specifications which allows us to write procedural statements for tasks and branch conditions, to query an ontology and to declare user interfaces. We apply transformation methods to generate executable software from the abstract process specifications. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
