What is a Model? A DESCRIPTION OF A GIVEN DOMAIN MODEL-ASSISTED Models used to understand or manipulate code Examples: Static Structure, Sequence, … DRAWINGS Models used to communicate with others Examples: Dataflow, Use Case, … MODEL-DRIVEN Models executed by runtimes directly Examples: HTML, CSS, XAML, BPEL, …

Model-driven Platform COM (+) midl.exe [Transaction] DECLARATIVE CONTENT TIME.NET 1.0 [YourAttributeHere] app.config Web Services wsdl:definitions xsd:schema.NET 3.0 wf:StateMachine wpf:ContentControl

Model-driven Applications Textual domain specific language (CAML) Visual designer (SharePoint Designer) Application definition stored in database Textual domain specific language (X++) Visual designer (MorphX) Application definition stored in database

Why is this happening? TRANSPARENCY Better understanding of your application FLEXIBLITY Faster changes to your application PRODUCTIVITY “More essence, less ceremony”

What is "Oslo"? THE PLATFORM FOR MODEL-DRIVEN APPLICATIONS “M” The language for authoring models & DSLs “Quadrant” The tool for interacting with models & DSLs Repository The database for storing & sharing models
