Title:  Customizing MDD Environments for Different Industrial Domains

Abstract:

Model Driven Development (MDD) is rapidly gaining industrial acceptance.
It helps in solving difficult problems of separating technology from
functionality. It does so by defining an abstraction over the low level
details and leaves the binding to an implementation platform to the
transformations.

In this talk I will describe different experiences we had with customizing
MDD for different industries. I will start by introducing MDD and
meta-modeling. Then I will describe different approaches for implementing
meta-models and introduce the eclipse modeling framework that enables
rapidly defining model based tools. I will finish this section by
describing the features required in a MDD based environment.

Finally, I will describe in more details our experiences in adopting MDD
in different industries (e.g. Telecom, Electronics, Automotive, Web) and
dive into our latest Telecom experience the "Telecom Service Creation
Environment". This environment enables developers to create services
without deep knowledge of telecom specific protocols. I will describe the
project, its meta-model, its transformation and demo the tool.
