Twitter accounts of UML, modeling and model-driven engineering tools
So far, I have detected the following "official" twitter accounts of UML, modeling or MDD tools (and by official I mean a twitter account of the tool itself, not a twitter account of a tool developer; I'm looking for twitter accounts that focus on announcing new releases of the tool, new features, application examples,... i.e. low-noise accounts), in no particular order:
- IBM Rational Software: @IBMRational

Microsoft dropping Quadrant - Another step backwards in its MDD strategy
After "refocusing" Oslo (in short, the Microsoft strategy for model-driven development consisting in the M modeling language + the Quadrant modeling environment + a model repository) we were left wondering if Microsoft still believed in model-driven development .
Open Health Tools - Model-Driven Health Tools project (MDHT)
The Open Health Tools - Model-Driven Health Tools project (MDHT) aims to provide modeling tooling extensions to the Eclipse Modeling Project for healthcare applications, and in particular, to produce implementations for the HL7 standard .Another interesting project to follow!
Executable models vs code-generation vs model interpretation
An executable model is a model complete enough to be executable. I´m fully aware that this definition is kind of useless but the executability of a model depends more on the execution tool we use than on the model itself (e.g. some tools may require a more complete and precise model specification while others may be able to "fill the gaps" and execute more incomplete models).
