Abstract

Current technologies are continuously evolving and software companies need to adapt their processes to these changes Such adaptation often requires new investments in training and development To address this issue, OMG defined a model driven development approach (MDD) which insulates business and application logic from technology evolution Current MDD approaches falls short in fully derive implementation from models described at a high abstraction level We propose a controlled natural language to complement UML models as an action specification language In this article, we describe the language, its impact on systems development and the tools developed to support it In order to demonstrate the language usability we present an application example.
