Is transitioning to MDE revolutionary (for companies adopting it)?
After reading the paper “Transition to Model-Driven Engineering – What Is Revolutionary, What Remains the Same?” by Jorge Aranda, Daniela Damian and Arber Borici I immediately contacted the authors and asked them to summarize the main lessons learnt from their work in a guest post. I have no doubt you’ll for sure enjoy it. Enter
How do software architects deal with non-functional requirements?
The full results of our exploratory study on how software architects deal with non-functional requirements (based on a set of interviews with software architects) were presented at the RE’12 conference (full paper is available here and the summary/slides can be browsed below) What was the motivation of this work? Research papers on software architecture often
Architecture Quality revisited
Together with X. Franch, D. Ameller and C. Ayala (all members of the GESSI group), I’ve been recently interested in exploring to what extend the huge amount of elicitation, documentation, validation, … techniques for non-functional requirements (NFRs) were useful and used in practice. The full results of our empirical study can be read here but

Most Important Soft Dev Trends for 2012 (MDE not even a voting option, really?)
As reported in InfoQ attendees of the QCon London conference have been voting for the most important software development trends for 2012 (votation is now open to everyone). We can discuss the role (or even better, the impact) of MDE in software development but you can’t deny its existence and its influence in a (growing)
Two surveys on modeling are waiting for your input
MDE researchers kindly request your help: “In the course of the project MOLIZ, a research project together with the Vienna University of Technology, we kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about the usage of models in practice and requirements for model execution. The questionnaire is targeted at people who work with models
101companies: One system – more than 100 alternative software implementations
Ralf Lämmel’s visit is the perfect excuse to blog about his great project: 101 companies, created together with Thomas Schmorleiz and Andrei Varanovich. The idea behind 101 companies is simple, let’s try to have as many implementations as possible for the same scenario, a simple Human Resource Management System (the so-called 101companies System) so that
Which modeling language do you use for MDE (survey results)
(Quietly) the EA-MDE project (aimed AT empirically assessing the efficacy OF MDE) IS progressing .
NO two programmers use the same notation (experiment)
Zuzel Vera Pacheco, a Master Student AT the University OF Toronto under the supervision OF Greg Wilson has been working ON the Back-annotation OF DATA models AT run-TIME . FOR a short description OF her project see also this presentation ON slideshare.
Agile teams are more likely to model than traditional teams
