Contribution à la modélisation explicite des plates-formes d'exécution pour l'IDM
This work targets researchers and practitioners in MDE by proposing an incremental approach to improve platform modeling for better performance, maintainability, and portability.
The paper addresses the lack of explicit modeling of execution platforms in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) by presenting a state-of-the-art review and a pattern for describing such platforms, aiming to confirm the feasibility and benefits of creating an execution platform metamodel.
One foundation of the model driven engineering (MDE) is to separate the modelling application description from its technological implementation (i.e. platform). Some of them are dedicated to the system execution. Hence, one promise solution of the MDE is to automate transformations from platform independent models to platform specific models. Little work has explicitly described platform characteristics. Yet, an explicit modelling allows taking in account their characteristics more easily (par ex., performances, maintainability,portability). This paper presents both an execution platform modelling state of art and a pattern to describe execution platform modelling framework. It intends to confirm the feasibility and the interests in describing an execution platform metamodel.
