Abstract

This work was initiated to tackle issues met by the ITK Company in developing and designing new crop models for decision support systems. At the crossroads of two disciplines, Computer Science and Agronomy, we propose the use of Model-Driven Engineering which has the potential to be the future of software engineering. This paper presents the model-driven approach retained to achieve a full-fledge crop modeling and simulation environment. The metamodel and graphical concrete syntax designed are overcoming the lack of formal tool for conceptual modeling. The presented prototype permits to improve ITK production process through the use of code generation techniques.
