Project: Model Centered Architecture

Master data
Model Centered Architecture
Description:

Models are the fundamental human instruments for managing complexity and understanding. As such they play a key role in any scientific and engineering discipline as well as in everyday life.

The main idea of MCA (Model Centered Architecture) is to understand software and information system development processes as mere modeling processes: we focus on models and their meta-models (MMs) in any development step up to the running system. We take models not only as representatives of underlying originals but to use them as the core of a system for both the addressed application functionality and the flexible definition of any kind of  system interfaces.

By MCA we aim at contributing perspectives on the power of conceptual modeling. We do not introduce a completely new technology but a kind of add-on to the MDA/MDSD (Model Driven Architecture / Model Driven Software Development) and the models@runtime methodology.

MCA is based

  • on models, their related universal or domain specific meta-models, and the modeling languages defined in connection with  these meta-models,
  • as well as on mechanisms for the transformation of models into other representations.
