The complexity of today's software systems leads to thecreation of many related diagrams, representing differentviewpoints, different levels of abstraction, and differentimplementation alternatives. Model-driven softwareengineering places these models in the center of thedevelopment process. Tool support is an essential aspectof model-driven engineering. Of particular interest aremodel transformation tools: they can facilitate thecreation and the evolution of models; they provide a levelof traceability between them and they help keeping themsynchronized. Unfortunately, currently there are few suchtools for UML-based models. This paper presentsMEDAL, our model transformation tool. First, we presentour viewpoint on model-driven software engineering.Then we describe MEDAL and how we implementedMEDAL on top of Rational XDE. Finally, in the lastsection we show how a web application development thatis based on an architectural framework can be supportedby the MEDAL tool.
