Model-driven architecture

You must add a |reason= parameter to this Cleanup template – replace it with {{Cleanup|reason=<Fill reason here>}}, or remove the Cleanup template.

Model-driven architecture is a Software design methodology, proposed and sponsored by the OMG.

The basic idea is that the system functionality is defined as a platform-independent model, using an appropriate specification language and then translated to one or more platform-specific models for the actual implementation.

The translation between platform-independent model and platform-specific models is normally performed using automated tools.
