The story begins with two quotes from Paul Valéry’s work I put on Twitter: “What is simple is always false. What is not simple is useless” (1) “There is science for simple matters and art for complicated matters” (2) My…

Following recent discussions, with MDA and Executable UML OMG’s initiatives in background, here is my proposal for a Sustainable MDA Manifesto. It’s a first draft, so feel free to contribute. Introduction Even if one want to see them overlapping, modeling…
In MDE life-cycle, round-trip engineering means ability to update a model based on source code reverse modeling. Funny practice: as the source code is issued from this model during the generation step, it’s a kind of “shoe is on the…
