Author :
Sendall, Shane ; Kozaczynski, Wojtek
Abstract :
The model-driven approach can increase development productivity and quality by describing important aspects of a solution with human-friendly abstractions and by generating common application fragments with templates. This article examines different approaches to model transformations and recommends desirable language characteristics for describing them.
