Model Driven Engineering
No. Not that kind of model-driven engineering.
Jack Ring, who occasionally blogs at www.cofes.com, said this:
A recent CfP stated "Model-Driven Engineering is about creating, transforming, generating, interpreting, weaving models using modelling languages, tools, etc."
Made me wonder where the problem statement came from that triggers such engineering.
Does the author mean Model-Building Engineering (as in We Are Driven) instead of Model-driven?
If the author described MDE properly, then in what ways is model-based systems engineering, MBSE, distinct from this MDE? And should we first model the problematic situation in order to make sure that the engineering effort addresses the right problem?
The first thing I had to do, when reading this, was figure out that CfP means "call for participation." I don't do all that well with TLAs, especially the CamelCase variety. The second thing I had to do was to find his reference, which is to the
First International Workshop on Transforming and Weaving Ontologies in Model Driven Engineering (TWOMDE'08). Jack doesn't necessarily make things easy. (Not a bad thing -- he's the kind of guy who makes people think.)Users of CAD software should think more about model-driven engineering. As much as we might like to talk about CAD being used to create "models," the reality is that CAD tools rarely go beyond mere geometric modeling.
