Using Model Driven Mechanism to Explain Model Driven Software Development

In the beginning, the model driven mechanism is a group of principles we summed up in the design of software. Then found that it was a structural fundamental appeared in a wide range of systems, as well as to MDE/MDSD. In the “Presentation on Model-Driven Mechanism in Information Systems and Enterprise Engineering“, mentioned that “MDM … Continue reading »

An Architecture Model for Cognition, Information Systems as well…

In recent post I told about the cognitive (triangle) cycle and the cognitive structure triangle. Further, A cognitive architecture (core) model could be formed through join these two models together, see Figure 1. Thinking making Thories, Thories deciding Action, Action imposing on Objects, Objects providing Feeling, Felling building Models, Models supporting Thinking… In this model, all … Continue reading »

This expression sounds some vague, it could lead to questions, such as the following comments by Vhanniet. An improved version as follow: Any classes are in your … Continue reading »

Transformation between Models and Code: Can Be or Can Not Be, That is the Question

Last month, I had launched a discussion “What is the essential difference between MODELING and PROGRAMMING?” in the forum of MDSN; I proposed my opinion “Model is not code.” and some of possible aspects for the discussion on the differences between models/modeling and code/programming: – the perspective – the business/problem vs. computer/platform – the interpretation … Continue reading »

Model-Driven: An Essential Requirement Come from Customers

In the beginning [1], I chose the word group “model-driven”, which inspired by the concept of “parameter-driven” and “table-driven” in software development. Some the properties would be stored in a parameter-table that can be modified at almost any time, which will be accessed and interpreted at run-time or load-time, and thereby, be able to meet … Continue reading »
