Abstract

The value of automatedco de generation is increasingly recognized, and the application model becomes the central artefact in the software development process. Model-driven development requires a rapida ndfle xible code generation mechanism. This paper discusses code generation based on templates that actively access UML model information to fill an implementation skeleton. Different templates result in different generated code, providing a highly flexible generation mechanism. Along with a discussion on the potential of such a code generation, an existing framework for code generation with templates is presented.
