"Model Driven Software Development: What It Can and Cannot Do" Abstract

Software models are abstractions of a software system and have been popularized ever since the introduction of the standard Unified Modeling Language (UML). Model driven development gives first class citizenship to software models and views them as precise artifacts that can be used in code generation, testing and simulation. This talk will discuss two of the leading approaches to model driven development: the OMG's Model Driven Architecture and Microsoft's Software Factories. The talk will describe the details of both approaches, discuss what is possible and what is not, and highlight key directions in which the technologies will or should develop in the future.

Jon Whittle is an Associate Professor in the Information and Software Engineering Department at George Mason University. He has published over forty articles on software modeling and model driven development. He is Vice Chair of the Steering Committee for the International Conference on Model Driven Engineering, Languages and Systems, the premier conference in the field of software modeling. He is also an Associate Editor of the Journal on Software and Systems Modeling. Previous to his current position at GMU, he was a research lead at NASA Ames Research Center where he developed and applied model driven development techniques to air traffic control and space applications. Jon holds a PhD and MSc from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and a Bachelors degree from the University of Oxford.
