Model-Driven Development – Hot Spots in Business Information Systems

Abstract. Model-driven development (MDD) is an important technology since it helps to reduce the cost of software development and maintenance. Further-more, it may increase the quality of resulting systems. However, it is naive to try to generate complete complex systems out of a single model. This paper presents hot spot domains of business information systems where MDD is par-ticularly applicable. For those domains, proven techniques for combining MDD with software architecture principles are presented. This distils the experience with MDD at sd&m for more than fifteen years.
