How to apply model-driven paradigm in information system (Re)engineering

摘要

Inability of traditional information system development approaches, methodologies and tools to cope with ever increasing complexity of contemporary information systems leads towards paradigm shift. Model-driven (MD) paradigm assumes orientation on models at all stages of system development. MD approach to information system and software engineering addresses complexity through abstraction. The approach promotes the idea of abstracting implementation details by focusing on: models as first class entities and automated generation of models or code from other models. The role of model-driven paradigm in information system (re)engineering is illustrated on the example of IIS*Studio development environment aimed at MD information system (re)engineering.
