Systems made from models

Iteratively developed systems where

models are the source of program

execution

Models are great for communication and

document the system at the same time

Generate all framework and plumbing

code with high level of quality

Survive paradigm changes9

Data intensive systems

Data intensive systems operate on the

domain data

Typically company expert systems

Presenting and storing data are the main

jobs

Administers business rules

Template example

%FILE% data.txt

%ITERATE:DialogModel%

Dialog: %Name%

%ENDITERATE%

%ENDFILE%

Using the dialog generator

The template prints out the name

of all dialogs in the application to

the specified file, "data.txt“

Directives:

%FILE%, %ENDFILE%

%ITERATE%, %ENDITERATE%

Substitutions:

%Name%

Text:

“Dialog: “
