“…AXIOM is partly based on the ZOOM (Liu and Jia, 2010;Jia et al, 2007;Jia et al, 2008) project as well as on OMG's MDA. AXIOM retains some key parts of UML, such as state and class diagrams, but unlike MDA, AXIOM defines a domain-specific modeling notation and a transformation framework that is not based on MOF.…”

The development and maintenance of mobile applications for multiple platforms is expensive. One approach to reducing this cost is model-driven engineering (MDE). In this paper, we present AXIOM, a model-driven approach for developing cross-platform mobile applications. Our approach uses a domain specific language (DSL) for defining platform-independent models (PIM) of mobile applications. It also defines a multi-phase, customizable transformation process to convert platform-independent models into native applications for target mobile platforms. Our approach could significantly reduce the development cost and increase the product quality of mobile applications. A prototype tool has been developed to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach. The preliminary findings are promising and show significant gains in development productivity.

“…AXIOM is based on the prior research of the ZOOM (Z-based Object-Oriented Modeling) (Jia et al, 2007;Jia et al, 2008) and HRMT (Hierarchical Relational Metamodel Transformation) (Liu and Jia, 2010) projects. ZOOM is an extension of OCL that is based on Z. HRMT, based on ZOOM, is a template-based model transformation framework that uses a simplified metamodel.…”

There has been a gradual but steady convergence of dynamic programming languages with modeling languages. Modern dynamic languages such as Groovy and Ruby provide for the creation of domain-specific languages that can provide a level of abstraction comparable to that of modeling languages such as UML. This convergence makes dynamic languages suitable as modeling languages but with benefits that traditional modeling languages do not provide. One area that can benefit from this convergence is model driven engineering. By using a dynamic language as an augmentation to MDE's traditional UML notation, it is possible to create models that are executable, exhibit flexible type checking, and which provide a smaller cognitive gap between business users, modelers and developers.
