This book offers insight into a revolution in software development that will ultimately lead to automatic executable code generation directly from model specifications. Using the most widely adopted software modelling language, UML, it demonstrates the way to build robust specifications based on OMG's Model Driven Architecture (MDA). Chapters then describe the steps needed to move directly to executable code using Executable UML (XUML). The volume will be a useful reference for professionals concerned with the future of software development for medium- and large-scale projects.
