Isml-Mde

Abstract

Purpose This purpose of this paper is to present ISML-MDE, a model-driven environment that includes ISML, a platform-independent modeling language for enterprise applications; ISML-GEN, a code generation framework to automatically generate code from models; and LionWizard, a tool to automatically integrate different components into a unified codebase. Design/methodology/approach The development comprises five stages: standardizing architecture; refactoring and adapting existing components; automating their integration; developing a modeling language; and creating code generators. After development, model-to-code ratios in ISML-MDE are measured for different applications. Findings The average model-to-code ratio is approximately 1:4.6 when using the code generators from arbitrary models. If a model transformation is performed previously to the code generation, this ratio raises to 1:115. The current validation efforts show that ISML properly supports several DSL essential characteristics described by Kahraman and Bilgen (2015). Research limitations/implications ISML-MDE was tested on relatively small applications. Further validation of the approach requires measurement of development times and their comparison with previous similar projects, to determine the gains in productivity. Originality/value The value of ISML-MDE can be summarized as follows: ISML-MDE has the potential to significantly reduce development times, because of an adequate use of models and transformations. The design of ISML-MDE addresses real-world development requirements, obtained from a tight interaction between the researchers and the software development company. The underlying process has been thoroughly documented and it is believed it can be used as a reference for future developments of MDE tools under similar conditions.

“…La práctica de desarrollo ISML-MDE que es un ambiente establecido por modeladores que alcanza componentes principales: un marco de generación de código (ISML-GEN), lenguaje de modelado para aplicaciones corporativo (ISML) y LionWizard. Muestra el enriquecimiento practico para la elaboración de ISML-MDE en un ambiente establecido por modeladores que existieron para automatizar y abstraer la elaboración de aplicaciones corporativas, resulto que la abstracción en ISML es adecuadamente alto, para esconder los pormenores de consumación, pero inferior para detallar la mayoría en aplicaciones corporativas, los ingenieros asimilan progresivamente el idioma y lo afilian fácilmente, por las destrezas de modelado fragmentado proporcionado por generación, la palabra clave oriunda y mutación de código modular automatiza gran parte de la ejecución de la aplicación y favorece a la omisión de detalles de la infraestructura de destino [19].…”
