Ethereum’s Smart Contracts Construction and Development using Model Driven Engineering Technologies: a Review

摘要

In the Blockchain context, Smart Contracts are computer programs that run on the Ethereum platform. Benefiting from the properties of Blockchain, SCs development represents a major challenge to developers, as the code is deployed to an immutable system, besides the Ethereum platform is still evolving. This paper highlights how we can exploit model-driven engineering for generating long terms and high productivity smart contracts. It reviews researches on Smart Contracts generation in the Ethereum blockchain from a model-driven perspective. Based on the studied approaches, we defined a comparative framework to outline the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. The result can be used as a basis of tool selection for specific development aspects of SCs.
