Abstract:

This talk describes a new approach to rapid application development using patterns, frameworks and modeling languages based on XML. It explains why earlier model driven paradigms failed, and shares insights from commercial tool development experiences. Then, it shows how models based on XML are being used to automate large parts of the software development life cycle.
