Abstract

Middleware has become an important part in business applications. Different middleware platforms require different software designs. Even version changes of the platform often lead to complex re-designs of software. Furthermore, complex business and platform specific knowledge is required, to translate abstract business models into platform specific implementations. This paper presents the software design transformation system GREAT in the context of business applications and Model Driven Architecture (MDA) proposed by the Object Management Group (OMG). It shows how graph transformations can be used to convert an abstract design model into a platform specific model.
