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
