Abstract

In recent years, many new concepts, methodologies, and tools have emerged, which have made Model Driven Engineering (MDE) more usable, precise and automated. We have earlier proposed a conceptual framework, FTG+PM, that acts as a guide for carrying out model transformations, and as a basis for unifying key MDE practices, namely multi-paradigm modelling, meta-modelling, and model transformation. The FTG+PM consists of the Formalism Transformation Graph (FTG) and its complement, the Process Model (PM), and charts activities in the MDE lifecycle such as requirements development, domain-specific design, verification, simulation, analysis, calibration, deployment, code generation, execution, etc. In this paper, we apply the FTG+PM approach to a case study of a power window in the automotive domain. We present a FTG+PM model for the automotive domain, and describe the MDE process we applied based on our experiences with the power window system.
