Introducing Higher-Order Transformations (HOTs)

Has the success of BPMN 2.0 killed BPDM (Business Process Definition Metamodel)?

Oclarity – a productive authoring environment for OCL
Andreas Awenius presents us today his Oclarity tool. A new OCL tool for our (still short) list of OCL tools.

¿Quién enseña desarrollo de software dirigido por modelos?
Como director del MDE diploma (primer máster en temas de Model-Driven Enginering, la segunda edición empezará en Septiembre), estoy muy interesado en conocer otros cursos donde se enseñe también MDE (o MDD, MDA,…) y con los que poder compartir mis experiencias.
