Abstract

Despite of ongoing development of model-driven development approaches in industry and academia, we believe that in particular for business logic aspects of information systems there is a lack of integrated support considering all phases of a model driven software process, from analysis until code generation. In our work we developed a framework consisting of meta-models, model transformations and tools that address a consistent support of development and maintenance tasks. As contribution of this article, we present an architecture for generated business logic code as part our infrastructure blueprint. We aim at the generation of robust business logic layers and consider particularly maintenance and integration issues of complex information systems with external dependencies. For this purpose, our infrastructure supports the specification of global domain states and local conditions in visual software models and generates corresponding code artifacts which assure these conditions automatically.
