The changing face of model-driven engineering

Abstract

Model-Driven Engineering has been studied and applied for many years, and it has evolved to a state where it has been used successfully in a variety of substantial projects. It is now at a state of maturity where there are potentially significant challenges to future adoption. In this chapter, we outline the state of practice in Model-Driven Engineering and point to two important future research directions: support for more flexible approaches to modelling and support for legacy models and modelling technologies.
