ABSTRACT

This paper describes ten steps to applying Model Driven Development (MDD) to a design process and shows that the process is neither alien to current thinking, nor impossibly expensive to implement.  MDD is proven to improve productivity in the design process. It makes it possible to use models all the way down the flow, automatically generating parts of the design and thus improving the design’s quality by bringing in repeatability and standards compliance. It enables actions such as eliminating physical prototypes from the process, by instead simulating digital and analog elements working together and with the control software operating the system.
