Model-driven architecture
|
|
Model-driven architecture is a Software design methodology, proposed and sponsored by the OMG.
The basic idea is that the system functionality is defined as a platform-independent model, using an appropriate specification language and then translated to one or more platform-specific models for the actual implementation.
The translation between platform-independent model and platform-specific models is normally performed using automated tools.
