Air France Flies High With Model-Driven Development

by Diego Lo Giudice, Mike Gilpin

with John R. Rymer, Jeffrey S. Hammond, David D'Silva


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

The experience of Air France shows that with a pragmatic approach, a company can introduce model-driven development (MDD) and achieve more rapid, predictable, and repeatable applications. The secret to success? Air France created a simplified version of model-driven architecture (MDA) and combined it with new modeling and programming paradigms and strong governance. Application development organizations with cultures that value efficient and repeatable processes should consider following a similar approach to gain the benefits that a pragmatic approach to model-driven development offers.
