DESCRIPTION
I prepared the following slides for a presentation on AlphaSimple but ended up not having time to cover them. The goal was to make the audience understand where we are coming from, and not try to convert them.I truly believe in those principles, and feel frustrated when I realize how far the software industry is from abiding by them.

Eleven Dogmas of Model-driven
Development

Enterprise Software is much harder than it should be, lack of separation of concerns is to
blame.
I
Domain and architectural/implementation
concerns are completely different beasts and should be
addressed separately and differently.
II
What makes a language good for implementation makes it
suboptimal for modeling, and vice-versa.
III
Domain concerns can and should be fully addressed
during modeling, implementation should be a
trivial mapping.
IV
A model that fully addresses domain concerns will expose gaps in requirements much
earlier.
V
A model that fully addresses domain concerns allows the
solution to be validated much earlier.
VI
No modeling language is more understandable to end-users than a running application (or
prototype).
VII
A single architecture can potentially serve applications
of completely unrelated domains.
VIII
A same application can potentially be implemented according to many different
architectures.
IX
Implementation decisions are based on known guidelines
applied consistently throughout the application,
and beg for automation.
X
The target platform should not dictate the development tools,
and vice-versa.
XI
